Walking shoes

Stylish walking shoes complete a man's outfit. High-quality shoes are comfortable to walk in and last year after year.

Brogue patterned shoes bring a suitable casual style to the outfit. The term Brogue refers to the decorative patterning on the shoe. A Brogue patterned shoe can be of various styles such as Oxford, Derby, or Chelsea. The Brogue patterning consists of serrations along the leather edge and perforated designs, often including a perforated design on the toe. Each typical pattern has its own name, such as Half brogue or Full brogue. Full brogue patterned shoes that use different colored leather or entirely different materials in the inserts are called Spectator shoes, and they are usually as striking as their name suggests, ensuring they do not go unnoticed.

Traditionally, Brogue patterned shoes have been considered suitable for more casual attire, but with good style sense, these striking shoes can also be worn with a suit and even as dress shoes, as long as the dress code and other attire are taken into account. For example, only black patent leather plain shoes are used with a tailcoat, so naturally brogue shoes are not the right choice. The use of brogue patterns as dress shoes varies by country; in some countries, etiquette is interpreted more literally than in others. In Finland, you can confidently wear brogue shoes at celebrations and with a suit.

You can achieve a striking outfit by choosing a belt that matches the color and style of your shoes. If your brogue shoes are particularly eye-catching, it might be necessary to choose the rest of your outfit to be stylishly understated, maintaining balance in your ensemble.
