Jim Charles Shoes presents the Longwing Blucher, a classic brogue reinterpretation that balances traditional English style with modern practicality and customization.
Crafted on the Zurigo last, this shoe features a rounded toe for a traditional English look, delivering a balanced, timeless silhouette. The characteristic longwing pattern runs from the toe along the sides to the heel, with crisp broguing and carefully cut edges that emphasize the precision of the design and construction.
The upper is made from premium med brown box calf, a fine-grain leather prized for its strength, smooth surface, and excellent shape retention. The medium brown tone offers versatility and depth, pairing easily with tailoring and smart-casual attire alike. Each leather panel is expertly cut, matched, and stitched, with clean lines and sharp detailing that speak to the high standard of craftsmanship.
Underfoot, the Longwing Blucher is equipped with an orange Goodyear Welt mixed leather-rubber sole. The Goodyear Welt construction is renowned for durability, structural integrity, and reparability, making the shoe a reliable long-term companion. The mixed sole combines the elegance and support of leather with strategically placed rubber sections to enhance grip, flexibility, and everyday resilience. The orange welt detail adds a subtle note of individuality while maintaining a refined, classic appearance.
Throughout the interior, the shoe is neatly lined and finely finished, with smooth surfaces and carefully positioned seams to ensure comfort, breathability, and long-lasting wear. From the quality box calf upper to the robust welted sole, every element reflects careful material selection and skilled shoemaking.
This Longwing Blucher is offered through our design your own option, which provides a thoughtful balance between our stock collection and the fully customizable Artisan range. You can partially customize key elements—such as colours and selected materials—creating a more individual version of the shoe, while still enjoying a quicker delivery time than with a fully bespoke configuration.
