It’s day 3 of the ‘hot off the factory floor’ tour and today we’ve got these brogues to show you. If you’re into brogues, you’ve probably already got at least a couple of pairs – probably in tan, brown and black. So these suede brogues with the leather toe and heel cap are sure to stand out of your shoe collection. Trouser-wise, we’d recommend either regular old indigo denim or some chinos. Like the rest of the collection we’ve previewed, expect these to drop around January.

Washed, vintage, antique – companies still don’t know what to call this leather. Whatever you want to name it, there’s been a lot of it doing the rounds lately; everyone from Our Legacy to Loake have been using it for their new shoes and now Preventi have hopped onto the wagon. Personally we prefer an English Brogue over the American longtip, but we can still appreciate it as long as it’s done well. We could have done with some more views of the shoes, but apparently Luisaviaroma – try saying that quickly – believe otherwise. (Luisaviaroma)

Tres Bien quietly slid in Church’s into their stock list about a week or so ago and now they’ve received their first styles in. Sadly, they don’t have the suede desert boots we featured from their SS09 collection, but they do have a great selection of Church’s continuative styles. Our pick of the bunch is the Chetwynd shoe, Church’s classic full brogue. At £460, the price is far from cheap – but the quality is far better than any designer shoe sold at the same price. Get it from Tres Bien. Also, check back later for Church’s Autumn/Winter 2009 Collection.

White shoes are always difficult to pull off and because of that, most people have just given up on them. This season we’re seeing more wearable white shoes than ever and the main reason for this is the contrast wooden soles. The best feature of these shoes is that they don’t have a brogue-ing detail on the toe cap, giving it a clean feel that some other white shoes lack. Get it from Farfetch.

Brogues have come back in a huge way recently. B-Store’s version comes in natural tan, so you can give it a worn-in look yourself. The brogue-ing used in this shoe is known as the American way of brogue-ing, so it’s a little surprising that the quintessentially English B-store have chosen this method. We do have to say that we prefer the English way of brogue-ing, but that’s all just us. Get it from Farfetch.

Tom from Chemical in Bristol turns us onto an article on Vice written by Douglas Hart of Jesus & The Mary Chain on one of the last remaining “Old Boy” shoe shops in London – Men’s Traditional Shoes. “I can remember the day I was taken to get my first pair of proper brogues. I was 13, and I was so excited I couldn’t sleep the entire night before. My mum took me to the local shoe shop, where I got a pair of dark brown full brogues. I can still remember the overwhelming smell of new leather and the rows of dark wood shelves crammed with shoeboxes. It was like heaven. Most of all I remember how amazing they felt on my feet and how amazing they made me feel. Thankfully, I still get that feeling when wearing a new pair of brogues.”

As shoe styles are veering towards classic styles, it’s getting harder for us to recommend designer shoes. Why spend £400 on designer shoes when you can get a custom pair of Trickers made for £350? Now that the consumer is more educated and demanded, designers will have to step up. Mihara Yasuhiro has done just that, putting a great twist on a classic design and avoiding a gimmicky look. Get it from Mindtrive (if you can).

We try not to feature designer versions of classic shoes, as the old school makers like Trickers and Church’s usually do them better. But saying that, these Alexander McQueen brogues are just too nice to pass up on. The colour, rather than any design quirk, is what makes these shoes stand out. They’re a beautiful mix between tan and beige and look like they’ll age gracefully as you wear them. Get them from Matches.

For some reason, the ‘I’ve had this for years’ worn-in look is one that’s always desired in shoes. It may be because while trainers look best new, new shoes look a little stiff and rigid – giving off a whiff of ‘I only bought these because my workplace didn’t like my battered vans’. These MARSéll ankle boots have the worn in look but because they’re tan, they’ll still age with the wearer. They’ve also got great brougeing details, which gives the shoe a unique look. Get it from The Corner.
