The Liffey Brogue is an enduringly elegant formal shoe. It starts with high-quality unfinished European crust leather, hand-stained with a light base and then skilfully shaded using brush strokes, creating a warm, antiqued "wooden effect." A final hand wax polish deepens the patina, delivering a distinguished and richly finished look.
