Maynooth Wingtip Chelsea Wingtip Boot for Men - Brogued Chelsea Boots

Maynooth is a Chelsea boot with a wingtip toe - the brogue detail of a dress shoe on a pull-on boot. The elastic sides keep it quick to wear. The upper is smooth calf, with wingtip broguing, elastic side panels. Elastic side panels replace the laces, so it pulls on in seconds.

A wingtip boot takes the W-shaped toe cap of a brogue - the wing that sweeps back along both sides - and carries it onto an ankle boot. Broguing, the decorative perforations along each seam, began as a way to drain water from country shoes and became a mark of craftsmanship. It sits on a stitched leather sole with a stacked heel, so it can be resoled. The smooth calf takes a deep polish and creases gracefully. It looks right with a suit, a blazer or a pair of dark jeans. Made by hand at Melodiapelle, this boot gets better with every polish.
