Longwing Brogues a variation on the full brogue

Longwing

American in origin, the longwing brogue is a variation on the full brogue. Since they feature a wingtip cap that extends to the back of the shoe, longwing brogues go without a heel cap. These shoes always feature open lacing.

Longwing brogues are known for wingtip caps that laterally extend laterally to the stitching on the heel, thereby make a heel cap unnecessary. This variation on the full brogue was developed in the US and always features open lacing.

Their wingtip caps and open lacing lend longwing brogues a sporty feel. This means they don’t pair well with suits—longwing brogues look their best when incorporated into leisurewear.
