Saw an amazing pair of oxblood brogues today. All they said inside was "Made In England" and "Leather Upper, Leather Sole" and the insock was all leather too.
They felt nice, and the stitching was very...hmm... old school I guess. They looked like they came from a small maker, especially with the sole's welt stitching so far toward the edge, and the pinning of the heel was amazing, loads of pins all across to hold in place. The insole lifted easy to shoe the build of the shoe. They were 8 1/2 though, and I need a wide 9, or 9 1/2 (sometimes buy 10, and use an extra insole).
