Russell & Bromley AW15 mens collection

 Key feature for AW15, Russell & Bromley men's shoes is texture.

Tassel Loafers are adorned with wool in traditional eye catching Alpine knit pattern - great for Xmas! For the more conservative, there is the plush yet subtle velvet fronts.

More for everyday, the classic tassel loafer was given a countryside feel with tweed cloth and tonal leather trim, whilst the bold colour blocking of black and golden tan gave a contemporary touch., 

Brogues mixed leather with check suit cloth .

Colour contrasting shoe laces  brought a fun element to the Oxford brogue.

For evening wear, there was a choice of the smooth plush velvet slipper or the shiny sparkling lace up.
