The
Gaelic word Bróg (plural Bróga), from which we get
the modern word brogue/brogues is very old and refered to any type
of footwear. One distinct type of shoes was called the Cuarán.
This was a one-piece shoe which was wrapped around the foot and
gathered around the toes with a leather thong. The Cuarán
was also known as
Lucas 4b, aka Bróg Éille. Worn over many centuries
down to the twentieth. Sometimes worn with the hair still on. Regarded
as the most common type of Irish shoe and worn by both sexes.
