Definitions
a thick and heavy shoe
Word origin
An alteration of brogue. Most dictionaries give the source as Irish *brógán (from bróg (“shoe”) + -án (diminutive suffix)) or its Scottish Gaelic equivalent, but no such word can be confirmed to exist in either language (apart from the given name Brógán, the source of the surname Brogan).
Used in a sentence
“The wind gusted through, shivering me, so that my waterlogged brogans were like ice against my feet.”
“Whoever's idea it was to depict Eddie Kendricks wearing an oversized orange sweater, baggy pants, and dull brown brogan loafers on the cover should have been fired.”
