The Blackburn Brogue
The Blackburn Brogue is a men's Oxford in smooth genuine leather, with brogue perforations along its seams and a burnished toe.
THE FORM
The Blackburn Brogue is a men's Oxford with closed lacing, a plain almond toe and a line of brogue perforations tracing its seams. The decoration stays at the edges, so the shoe keeps a clean front. Among men's brogue Oxford shoes it sits on the formal side: detailed enough to notice, restrained enough for a suit.
THE MATERIAL
The upper is genuine leather with a smooth, polished finish. The toe is burnished darker than the rest of the shoe, which gives the colour depth and a gentle shading towards the front. Smooth leather takes polish well, and the shine builds with every wear and every brushing.
THE DETAIL
The perforations follow the vamp seam and the edge of the lacing, picking out the shape of the shoe in small points of light and shade. A tan leather lining shows at the collar. The rubber sole grips polished floors and wet pavements and keeps the shoe quiet underfoot, and a low heel keeps the stance level.
THE FIT
Most customers take their usual European size. Between sizes, take the lower for a snug instep and the higher for a wider foot. It comes in European sizes 38 to 47, and we answer sizing questions on WhatsApp before you order.
THE OCCASION
Wear it with a navy or grey suit for the office, with tailored trousers and a blazer for a lunch or a weekend event, or with senator wear for a family occasion. In red it becomes a deliberate statement for celebrations and evenings.
