Quarter Brogue
Quarter brogues are characterized by broguing along the cap’s edge, but nothing on the toe cap. It’s the most minimal of brogue styles. Usually found in Oxford Style shoes, but there is no compulsion.
Semi Brogue
The semi- brogue, or half-brogue, is characterized by broguing patterns on the toe cap and its edges. It is just like a quarter brogue but with additional ornamentation on the toe of the shoe.

Full Brogue (Wingtip)
Full brogues are the most iconic of the styles. A distinct wing-shaped curved extension runs along both sides of the shoe. Hence, also called Wingtip. This type of brogues has more patterns than a semi-brogue extending to a midsection of the shoes. Because of the heavy broguing, full brogues are the most casual of all types of brogues.
