Grenson X Foot The Coacher Leather Brogues

This is a nod to a classic done right in the hands of revered brand Grenson and purist cobbler site Foot The Coacher.  The familiar longwing brogue is done up here in slick black leather with the quarter in a saddle brown leather.  The two-tone effect is modern and cool yet classically dapper and will pair very handsomely with your fall suits and topcoats but are equally as plausible to be paired with crisp denims and sweaters.  Available now at Mr. Porter.com.


Weber Hodel Hartford Brogues

If you've seen the classics and understand them then what better moment then to turn them on their ends.  Weber Hodel did just that with these Hartford Brogues.  The upper is full leather and pays homage to the classic longwing brogue, while it deceptively looks like a midsole creeps up on and takes over the normal spacing dedicated for the upper.  Then to drive home the effect, the white rubber has a layer of tan leather on top of it for a stacked effect.  It's a play on proportions and combines a brogue and a creeper and is a very forward cool shoe to don this Fall.  Available now FarFetch.com.
