Now don’t get me wrong, I love a bit of suede on my feet - I own two pairs of suede Chelsea boots and about four pairs of suede Desert boots - but I have never got the attraction of suede brogues.
They’re nice, but for me, brogues are heavy, shiny and polished. The small holes all along the sides make the shoes seem ever heavier, as if they’ve been riveted together from metal. The whole look is one of ultra-smart, obsessive, almost sergeant-major-esque slickness. Perfect with a dark suit.
If you add suede, does that not ruin the effect?
Each to their own I suppose!
