A brogue is a stout shoe with heavy perforations along the seams (called broguing) and usually a wing tip. Originating from Ireland, the brogue was originally designed to be an outdoor worker’s shoe and made from untanned hides.
Brogue comes from Irish bróg & Scottish Gaelic bròg, and while it might make you think of a thick accent, that word brogue comes from a different Irish word, barróg, which means "accent" or "speech impediment."
