Robinsons Shoes One of the biggest men’s fashion stories of recent times is the rebirth of the traditional brogue. Not only a man’s perfect footwear work companion when styled with a smart suit but it equally completes a casual man-about-town look when paired with jeans and a shirt.

Traditionally seen as footwear preserved for old gentlemen, the brogue has come a long way in the shoe fashion stakes. Brogues are believed to have been created in Ireland, derived from the Old Irish bróg, to enable water that seeped into shoes to drain out through the perforated holes. But these days, the brogue shoe with its distinctive pinked and perforated detailing feature is the go-to footwear for those discerning gents looking for heritage, with an eye for quality and wanting the ultimate comfort in footwear.
