The Malfroid Brogue-Master Boot: The New Benchmark for Elevated Elegance

Here is the Brogue-Master Boot from Malfroid.

Why call it « Master »? Because, not content with redefining the benchmark for the brogued boot, it leaves you in complete command of your elegance, in all contexts and situations. Your silhouette, particularly its lengthening effect, will thank you for it.

A Marvel of Balance and Detail

The distinctive features of this marvel of balance:

• It is a sophisticated full brogue, pierced throughout with those small, graceful holes (the patterns known as brogues).
• It features a wingtip (bird’s wing) toe that sweeps elegantly up the vamp and elongates the foot.
• It rises with the height of a chic boot, carrying you on a flexible and robust rubber sole, ensuring unparalleled comfort.
• Its leather? Now we talk… a pure marvel from the Roux Tannery. An ebony brown of unmatched depth: a concentration of French expertise and elegance.
• It is a sturdy and compact model, built on a comfortable last: the 333 (the one from our Cooper range). It perfectly grounds the silhouette and gives it that je-ne-sais-quoi that some call cool.

Timeless References and Uncompromising Comfort

This Brogue-Master Boot can easily be imagined in the late 50s, on the feet of a Coltrane or a Miles Davis for a Columbia Records album cover: high-waisted wide trousers, a beautiful, starched cream shirt, whose cut perfectly complements the ankle height. We can just as easily picture this pair on the feet of The Specials, the classy British ska band formed in Coventry in 1977.

A style beyond fashion, it looks good in any latitude. It is a true all year rounder (all seasons). Its combination of rubber sole and full-grain leather is your comfort ticket, a winner every time.

The full brogue definitely has its new master, now in a high-top version.

– Insert raw wood shoe trees into your shoes as soon as you take them off: They absorb moisture and preserve the integrity and shape of the shoe.

– Use a shoehorn for your comfort and to protect the shoe’s heel counter.

– Alternate your pairs of shoes as much as possible, as leather needs to dry properly to remain supple and maintain its shape. Never leave your pair near a source of heat or humidity.

– Regularly wipe your pair with a dry cloth or give them a quick brush.

– Use Saphir Médaille d'Or lotion every five to ten wears. It cleans and nourishes the leather: this is an essential and regular maintenance step. Saphir Médaille d'Or Renovateur cream (neutral or in the color of the shoe) is a complementary treatment that is more nourishing.

– Once your shoes are clean and hydrated, apply a little Saphir Médaille d'Or shoe polish to provide extra protection and a glossy finish. Finally, buff using a polishing cloth or a soft-bristled brush.

– For a mirror shine (glacage), emulsify by alternating layers of polish with fine droplets of water, only on the rigid parts of the shoe. This operation requires time and precision. Run a nylon, wool, or cashmere stocking over a finished mirror shine.
