Semi-brogues are a type of dress shoe characterized by their decorative perforations, or "broguing," which are typically found along the edges of the toe cap and sometimes along the seams. Unlike full brogues, which have extensive perforations and a wingtip design, semi-brogues feature a more subtle design, making them versatile for both formal and semi-formal occasions. These shoes usually have a rounded toe and can be made from various materials, including leather and suede. Semi-brogues are often worn with suits, dress pants, or even smart-casual outfits, providing a stylish yet understated option for those looking to elevate their footwear.
