Brogues have become a 20th century classic in mens
footwear. They are characterised by their stitched uppers
which are decorated with a perforated design. Among
the finest available are those made by the London boot-
maker John Lobb, founded in 1866. Since this date Lobbs
has built an international reputation for its made-to-order
shoes, created with the finest materials by top craftsman. |
