Try Clarks, or ASOS. I LOVE the ASOS brogues. Clarks do a few patent ones, I think, I'd love a black pair.

I tried a Dune pair in the HOF sale - Oxford's rather than brogues. There was a gorgeous burgundy pair of brogues as well but can't remember the brand - Carvela perhaps.

Dorothy Perkins had some heeled ones in the sale in store yesterday. Can't link as on phone.

Popped into clarks yesterday and saw the black brogues. Not in the sale (yet?) but v lovely. Not too clompy either. I just ordered some oxblood patent clarks originals, under £40 in sale, am v excited...

The clarks patent wine colour ones are super comfy. I have them and wear them every day to work. I don't think they'll hit the sale though. I'm going to buy tan, and poss black patent too when I can afford them.

New look is worth a Google. They have a sale on so may be some bargains!

I am dying to get my hands on a pair from clarks. I have the most sensitive feet in the world so need the comfiest shoes out there. The plan is to wear them with opaques in winter and by the time spring arrives they will be broken in enough for me to try them with bare feet only. Well, that's the plan. I love the bare footed brogue look but don't know how peoples' feet aren't cut to ribbons.

I've got the patent wine brogues from Clark's too. Love them!

I've also got the patent wine brogues from Clarks. They rubbed a bit a first, but one foot is quite a bit smaller than the other so that always happens. I'm not usually a fan of "man" style shoes but I have to say these look really good with slim fitting ankle length trousers. Not too sure how well they go with skirts or dresses though.
