DescriptionMan's open tab work shoe (brogan), with four pairs of eyelets on tabs. Toe shape is a rounded point. The shoe is unlined. The sole, which is pegged, appears to be slightly crooked for a right foot. The heel is so extremely worn down, it is impossible to tell how high it originally was, but it appears to be only one or possibly two layers of leather thick.
