Do you wear brogues?

I tend to wear just boots on the winter and thought I would try some brogues.

I like a chunky sole, I’ve seen a few pairs in John Lewis I quite like.

What about patent -yay or neh?

Yes I do and I love them :)

Dancergirl · 21/12/2017 20:57

Do you wear with both trousers and skirts?

Yes, for work, with skirts and trousers. I had Clark’s Hambling Oaks in pewter and in black, and some similar from Next boys’ range in navy.

ChanandlerBongsNeighbour · 21/12/2017 21:02

Yes! I have a pewter pair and a tan (non leather) pair but have just splashed out on the most gorgeous Sam Edelman tan leather pair.

I wear them mostly with Ankle grazer slim trousers and sometimes with dresses and opaque tights.

Wear brogues all the time.
Great for work with skirt or trousers.

Dancergirl · 21/12/2017 21:04

chansndler with trousers, do you wear them with socks?

Brogues, Chelsea boots, or Stan Smiths are my staple footwear. I have many pairs of each.

Trills · 21/12/2017 21:05

Another vote for Hamble Oaks from Clarks.

I have burgundy.

They have half sizes.

Thegiantofillinois · 21/12/2017 21:09

I love the two coloured hambles. Wide trousers and skinny ankle trousers in winter and a line skirts in summer. I'm at an age where i can't carry off granny chic any more, so need to wear carefully.

WinnerWinnerChickenDinner0 · 21/12/2017 21:12

As above I never know how to wear them. Socks? Colour? Dreaded pop socks? Trousers turned up? What style skirt?

I really want to be trendy but can never figure out exactly how to do it 😫

ASauvignonADay · 21/12/2017 21:12

I wear them with dresses and tights. Sometimes with trousers (just don't wear trousers often). My favourites are chunky heeled ones from Clark's.

museumum · 21/12/2017 21:12

Yes. Hamble oaks in pewter and a great red or dead pair in burgundy. Love them both!

DancingHouse · 21/12/2017 21:13

I have 2 pairs of hamble oaks in oxblood patent and multicolour tweed. I also have a buttery soft tan leather pair from Hudson which I wear in spring summer time. I also have a jazzy silver pair from new look.

I love brogues and my podiatrist says they are the best sole/heel height for my plantar fasciitis.

bakingbee · 21/12/2017 21:33

I love my brogues. Have a pair of vintage church's in tan and a black pair of grensons with the light sole. Perfect with skirts and cropped trousers. So comfy

Judydreamsofhorses · 21/12/2017 22:36

With trousers I wear these:

They say ankle socks but they pull up to knee length and don’t fall down.

WhooooAmI24601 · 21/12/2017 22:44

I love Hamble Oak brogues and have 4 pairs. They go with skirts, dresses, ankle trousers, skinny jeans, everything.

Thegiantofillinois · 21/12/2017 22:49

I wear footsie things in mine.

MeadowHay · 21/12/2017 22:56

My work shoes are black patent brogues from Clarks, smart and super comfy.

Kitsharrington · 22/12/2017 08:36

Yes I love them. Mine are patent black with tan sold. They were from the old NW3 Hobbs line. I really miss NW3!!

Kitsharrington · 22/12/2017 08:37

tan sole

ChanandlerBongsNeighbour · 22/12/2017 09:49

I wear invisible footsie socks with mine.

Dancergirl · 22/12/2017 11:10

Thanks all. So normal black socks with them is a no-no? Do you get cold ankles??

I wear normal socks with mine. I have glittery ones that I particularly like.

rightknockered · 22/12/2017 11:29

But only with trousers

CougheeBean · 22/12/2017 11:35

I think socks are fine! Ive just got some new dr martens 3989 brogues which are great for the chunky sole, and will last probably forever (most of my DMs are ancient and all are undefeated)
