Burgundy is the colour that decides who buys this shoe. In daylight it is unmistakably red-brown; under office lighting or after dark it reads close to black, which is why burgundy has always been the compromise for men who want something other than black without looking as though they have given up on formality. It sits particularly well against mid-grey and navy, and badly against brown tailoring.
The Broad II is the most formal shoe in this group by some distance. It is a wingcap Oxford brogue, closed-laced, built on Cheaney's 11028 last, which they keep exclusively for the City collection: elongated in shape, close in the fit and finished with a contemporary almond toe. Underneath is a leather sole. Cheaney cut their leather soles from strongly tanned hides, groove them to house the stitching, then trim, stain, polish and stamp each one individually.
The brogueing keeps it from being severe. This is a shoe that works for a suit on Monday and a jacket and flannels on Saturday, which is a genuinely useful range for one pair.
