Traditionally, brogue shoes are characterized by their decorative perforations, also known as "broguing." The Liffey stays true to this heritage, featuring intricate brogue detailing on the upper leather. These perforations not only add a touch of visual interest but also serve a functional purpose. Originally designed as country footwear, the broguing allowed the shoes to dry quickly when wet, making them ideal for outdoor pursuits. Today, they add a distinctive and refined touch to formal attire.

Designed in Northampton, England—a renowned hub of shoemaking excellence—The Liffey Brogue carries with it a legacy of premium craftsmanship that dates back to 1880. Each pair is meticulously crafted using the time-honoured Goodyear Welted Construction method, ensuring exceptional quality and longevity.

Inside the shoe, you'll find a full leather insole and lining, providing a luxurious and comfortable experience with every step. The calf leather used boasts a natural finish, showcasing the inherent beauty of the material. To further accentuate the artistry and attention to detail, the shoe features hand-stitched detailing.
