Phillips - Cream Calf / Cream Suede

Tarsal brogues are variations on the classic cap toe oxford: An additional strip of leather is used in the pattern of the shoe, roughly above the tarsal bones of your foot. This design lends itself wonderfully to spectator styles, as the large number of panels offer many opportunities for contrasting colors or materials.

Our "Phillips" tarsal brogue is a dashing example of just that: Notice not just the obvious contrasting tarsal panel, but also the handsome effect of the adelaide piece extending up from the laces and around the opening of the shoe.

The Phillips, on the LPB Last, is a generous and elongated fitting oxford. The combination of suede and leather offers a generous feel. If you wear slender lasts, you will wish to size down. If you wear more generous fitting lasts, often found in Italian brands or on other chisel lasts, stick with your typical size. If you are a standard fit, it will be up to you to decide if you prefer a little more room or a snugger fit. If more room, stick to the same size, if more snug, size down.

The suede allows for a quick break-in and stretching after wear.
