Online, July 5, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Echirolles, France (25 June, 2010) - Spartoo, leading European online shoe store hosting an extensive range of men's, women's and children's shoes with over a hundred different brands, have a beautiful range of brogue shoes available on their website.

The ideal alternative to flat shoes, brogue shoes combine style and daily comfort. Often emblematic of the masculine/feminine trend, this model taken from menswear has been given a feminine touch, to the delight of fans of the style.

In just a few short years, Minelli has made a name for itself in the fashion world, becoming a sure bet for city trendsetters looking for the latest fashions. Naturally fresh, delicate and sophisticated lines and rigorous attention to detail are the unique touches that people love so much from a pair of Minelli shoes. The pursuit of details and audacity subtly characterise each collection, season after season.

Making their debut in the Marais neighbourhood of Paris in the 1990s, Kesslord has become an incredibly reputable brand. After taking their first steps in the fashion world via leather goods, they incorporated stylists who specialised in the world of shoes into their design bureau and began to propose creative models. With a beautiful line of brogue shoes that combine masculine and feminine looks, the brand has designed an androgynous collection that follows the trend perfectly.

Founded in Sydney in 1932, at the time Bloch specialised in dance slippers that were adapted to the morphology of dancers who kept complaining of foot aches. After having outfitted the most prestigious dance companies, they made a foray into the fashion world by moving from dance slippers to city-style brogue shoes. The spirit is the same, as well as the comfort. Whether is a classic or jazzy mood, Bloch gives fashionistas some pep in their step!

For more than 20 years and from season to season, Stephane Verdino has created his own unique style that doesn't follow the traditional codes of fashion, yet draws inspiration from them. His designs are pure, with stylish lines and thoughtful volumes for a architecturally inspired work with disciplined forms. And his brogue shoes follow this rule. With polka-dots or chequerboard, they combine futurism and tradition.

Created in the middle of the 1960s by this couple of designers with the same name, Marithe & François Girbaud proposes very innovative collections at the height of fashion. Their designs have been updated and modernised so many times it can be hard to spot the original, but the result is always as seductive as ever. No exception for the brand's brogue shoes, which have an original style, for a result full of charm and character.
