A "tarsal brogue" is a rare variation on the classic cap toe: An additional strip of leather is used in the pattern of the shoe, roughly above the tarsal bones of your foot -- hence the name! 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. For a final detail, the suede of the pattern's base layer peeks through the brogueing on each shoe, adding a sprinkling of additional color contrast throughout.

This Maple Calf / Beige Suede is the only model of the new Phillips pairs to really lean into the spectator style possibilities of the shoe's pattern. Warm brown hues make it an excellent summer shoe, while the cheeky spectator design all but guarantees that you'll be wearing this pair on your days off, likely behind a pair of dashing sunglasses, with a stogie in hand!
