I found the article largely incomprehensible, so I'll simply remark that the depicted shoes are bluchers, not brogues.

Bluchers/derbies and brogues are orthogonal, e.g.:

brogue oxford: http://blog.loake.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Buckingha...

Those shoes are definitely bluchers and definitely not brogues, though.

Thank you for this. It's an odd mistake, since brogues are so easily identifiable.

What the hell, was this arduous, tedious article all about?!
