Model: 7051 AES_BLACK Real Leather Padded leather insole for comfort Classic Day Brogues. Made in Scotland Lightweight rubber sole for all terrain mobility and grip Classic day brogue suitable for any occasion. This shoe is made using the goodyear welted construction, where the quality of the welt and finished lock stitch can clearly be seen.

Brogue shoes originated from a basic Scottish and Irish shoe-style which was perforated to allow water to drain from them if the wearer crossed wet terrain. Again to allow quicker drying, ghillie brogues are traditionally made without the tongues seen on modern brogue shoes and have long laces which wrap around the leg, avoiding the tie in the laces becoming wet and muddy. Although originally designed with Scotland's climate in mind, ghillie brogues are now an essential part of any, but especially formal, kilt outfit.
