Brogue \Brogue\, n. [Ir. & Gael. brog shoe, hoof.] 1. A stout, coarse shoe; a brogan. Note: In the Highlands of Scotland, the ancient brogue was made of horsehide or deerskin, untanned or tenned with the hair on, gathered round the ankle with a thong. The name was afterward given to any shoe worn as a part of the Highland costume. {Clouted brogues}, patched brogues; also, brogues studded with nails. See under {Clout}, v. t. 2.
