You've most likely already worn these beauties without even knowing! Brogues are oxford shoes with a wing-tip and perforated design. "Wing-tips" are located on the toe of an oxford shoe, where the detailing forms a "W" and resembles spread wings.
The origin: These shoes were first seen in Scotland and Ireland in the 1500s, where perforations aided ventilation and allowed water to drain from the shoe. The word root is Gaelic and Norse.
