For which occasions can I wear the cognac brogues from Miler Menswear, and for which ones not?
Cognac brogues are considered informal footwear due to their light color and decorative broguing. They pair perfectly with light-colored, less formal suits, smart-casual combinations, chinos and even jeans. They are also a fantastic choice for the office. With them, you’ll look exceptionally elegant and polished!
How was the sole made on the cognac brogues from Miler Menswear?
We are well aware of all the charms of wearing leather shoes. After years of experience with such footwear, we know that nothing is more important than the quality of the leather from which they are made. However, the main limitation of leather shoes lies in the leather sole, which inevitably wears down over time and, in winter, can lead to slips and falls. For a long time, we considered how we could create shoes that are not only visually appealing but also significantly more functional in terms of the sole. As a result, we opted for prestigious leather soles that are partially rubberized in areas most exposed to wear. This allows you to:
- → protect the sole in areas most exposed to wear while still showcasing that it is made of leather.
- → prevent the sole from soaking through.
- → provide the wearer with slip resistance, addressing a common issue with leather soles in certain conditions.
- → save customers the time and expense of finding a cobbler to add protective rubber to their shoes.
The cognac brogues from MILER Menswear are made using the Blake construction method
Blake is a traditional and highly regarded method of shoemaking, historically associated with the world of Italian elegance. What does this technique involve? It consists of stitching the sole directly to the upper of the shoe. Lyman Reed Blake patented his shoe-sewing machine in 1858, marking a major revolution in footwear production. While not denying the advantages of the most prestigious shoemaking method—Goodyear welting—with its ability to replace the sole and its greater resistance to rain and snow, it is also important to highlight the benefits of the Blake construction. In the Blake technique, the welt of the sole is slightly narrower than in Goodyear-welted shoes, giving them a more streamlined appearance. The Blake sole is also highly flexible, which has earned it a loyal following among those who value exceptional comfort. For all these reasons, the Italian footwear industry has embraced Blake construction as its preferred method.
Brogues – what are the defining features of this type of footwear?
Brogues are undoubtedly a particularly charming type of footwear. They owe this to their decorative broguing, which at the same time slightly reduces their formality. When it comes to colors, it is definitely best to focus on shades of brown. The version presented here offers a slightly lighter tone, which can be described as cognac. The version presented here offers a slightly lighter tone, which can be described as cognac. As an interesting fact, the name “brogues” comes from the Irish language, and the first versions of these shoes were worn by field workers and hunters! Today, however, they have won over many admirers, thanks to their unique charisma and exceptional wearing comfort. They are perfect for those who want to add more individuality to their outfits and develop their own original style.
What to wear brogues with?
Brogues are remarkable in that they offer great versatility and flexibility, allowing them to be paired with many different types of clothing. This type of footwear is designed to give your outfit a more relaxed, casual style. They provide a high level of comfort, complement your laid-back look, and still add the right touch of elegance. Every man who appreciates practical solutions should have at least one pair of brogues in his wardrobe. They are suitable for many occasions! Depending on the clothes you choose to wear with them, these shoes can take on a different character each time.
NAVY SUIT
Brogues look fantastic when paired, for example, with a navy suit. Combining it with lighter shoes in a cognac shade gives the entire outfit a lower level of formality. Additionally, for this look, it’s worth skipping the tie and leaving the shirt slightly unbuttoned. In the breast pocket, you can place a colorful pocket square with the tips spread out.
GREY SUIT
Cognac brogues have the great advantage of being easy to combine with both darker and lighter colors. For this reason, they can confidently be paired with a grey suit. To complete the look, you can choose, for example, a white shirt with a cutaway collar and a pocket square folded in a puff style. Here too, we recommend skipping the tie and leaving the shirt slightly unbuttoned for a lighter, more relaxed feel. This type of outfit is an ideal choice for the warmer seasons!
JACKET WITH JEANS
From suits, we now move on to… jeans. Brogues also pair beautifully with them! To this combination, we can add, for example, a navy jacket, and a striped shirt. Don’t forget a pocket square, and you’re all set! This kind of outfit is perfect for a relaxing walk or an outing with friends. It’s an option that is not only extremely comfortable but also elegant.
CHINOS AND SWEATER
Jackets, jackets…but there’s also something for fans of even more casual wardrobe pieces. A great example is a V-neck sweater z dekoltem w kształcie litery V. You can pair it with a white shirt with a cutaway collar, red chinos and of course, our reliable brogues!
CHECKED PANTS AND A TURTLENECK
To finish, here’s a suggestion for fans of outfits with fewer elements. All you need is a merino wool turtleneck, for example in a shade of green, checkered pants, and our cognac shoes. Remember—sometimes simplicity is the best choice!
HOW TO READ A SIZE CHART?
To make it easier for our customers to choose the size of classic footwear, we express our sizing not by the length of the shoe insole but by the length of the foot, which can easily be measured by oneself in the way described below.
1. Place a tape measure or ruler on the floor so that its beginning touches a surface perpendicular to the floor, such as a wall or a piece of furniture (e.g., a wardrobe or the leg of a table):
2. Stand on the measuring tape in such a way that your heel rests against any piece of furniture with a surface perpendicular to the floor:
3. Read the length of your foot, then compare the measurement with our size chart and choose your size:
NOTE:
If your big toe is not the longest toe on your foot, align the toe that extends the furthest on the measuring tape.
Knowing the length of your foot in cm, you can easily choose the right size of Miler Menswear shoes. The foot shown in the photo measures 26.7 cm, which makes the appropriate size 41.5 EUR or 7.5 UK.
The size chart presented applies to the Miler Menswear last marked with the symbol MiMe - Reg, on which we also craft other shoe models. This is a great convenience because once you determine the size of your first pair of Miler Menswear shoes, purchasing another pair will be just a formality – shoes made on the same last will fit your foot in exactly the same way.
