So, come and check out our collection of splendid ladies' brogues – you can buy these footwear essentials right here!

What exactly are ladies' brogues, and how should you choose between chunky, platform and flatform styles of these lace-up shoes, and designs with a slight heel?

Brogues are a Celtic classic! Indeed, the Irish and Scottish Gaelic word for shoe is "brog", and these robust leather shoes were originally designed to be worn out in the wet – the traditional perforated design on the upper isn't just decorative but helps the shoe dry quicker! Today, brogues have left bonnie Scotland and Ireland, and gripped the four nations as a firm footwear favourite among women looking for a sturdy yet elegant replacement for heels or smart shoes. While many brogue styles have retained their perforations, women's brogues now come in a wide range of styles, ranging from flat models to designs with low heels, and from chunky versions with a platform to trainer-style shoes for enhanced practicality. Flatter soles are generally better for more functional outfits, while the classic black brogue (with or without a raised heel) is an excellent addition to your work wardrobe. If you're spending the day on your feet, you'll really appreciate the difference a good pair of ladies' brogues can make! And if you'll be doing lots of walking, a slightly raised heel will provide the best support for your foot. Not only do these shoes offer a super-comfortable fit, the laces ensure that they mold perfectly to your feet. Try a pair of brogues and you'll never go back!

From black and brown all the way to gold and navy blue, there's a world of choice when it comes to women's flat, leather brogues!

To be sure, brogues are a classic shoe. Classic colours such as brown or black will therefore always work well and be endlessly versatile! Match a pair of black heeled ladies' brogues with a delicate blouse and black trousers, or pair brown brogues with blue jeans and a matching brown leather belt. Putting together a great outfit is a piece of cake! For the more adventurous type however, choose a colourful or even metallic pair of brogues to add a touch of interest and intrigue to your outfits. We love the difference that gold leather can make! Just make sure you take care of your leather brogues with an appropriate cleaning product and store them properly. That way, these Celtic classics will last for years! And if you're on the lookout for yet more practical shoes to tackle any type of weather, browse our trainers, boots and ladies' loafers!
