Brogues are for Winners

I was fortunate enough to have found this pair of vintage wingtips at a local thrift store some years back. They are Vero Cuoio, an Italian brand. I obviously have a passion for brown casual shoes such as these and can't pass them up for the most part. These feature a nice leather hide for durability and wear complete with a decorative toecap having a point extending toward the throat of the shoe.

• The Brogue is a style of low-heeled shoe or boot traditionally characterized by multiple-piece, sturdy leather uppers with decorative perforations (or "brogueing") and serration along the pieces' visible edges. Modern brogues trace their roots to a rudimentary shoe originating in Scotland and Ireland that was constructed using untanned leather with perforations that allowed water to drain from the shoes when the wearer crossed wet terrain such as a bog.^] Brogues were traditionally considered to be outdoor or country footwear not otherwise appropriate for casual or business occasions, but brogues are now considered appropriate in most contexts.
