Product Information

Brogues are a 16th-to-17th century Scottish/Irish invention. They were shoes made for wading in water; the perforations were functional and served to let the shoes drain. Nowadays, the perforations are purely decorative. For a long time, brogues were strictly country shoes, but the blurring of the lines between country and city wear has made them more acceptable for town.

In ancient Greek literature, the sandals of Hermes are first of all mentioned by Homer ( ἀμβρόσια χρύσεια; ambrósia khrýseia, "immortal/divine and of gold"), though not described as "winged". [3] [1] [4] In fact, you’re better off buying brogues, semi-brogues, and quarter brogues all before buying a pair of wingtips. These are much easier to find than austerity brogues, and as such you’ll spend less time looking and more time enjoying the shoes you bought.

While the shoe with wings logo has gone through various iterations for special collections and collaborations, it has managed to retain its essence and recognition. Vans has collaborated with artists, musicians, and fashion designers to create limited-edition collections featuring unique interpretations of the logo. According to one estimation, it was around 5th century BC when the winged sandals came to be regarded as common (though not indispensable) accoutrements of the god Hermes. [1] One later instance which refers to the sandals being winged is the Orphic Hymns XXVIII to Hermes (3rd century BC to 2nd century AD). [6] [4] The Latin noun tālāria, neuter plural of tālāris signifies "of the ankle". It is not quite certain how the Romans arrived at the meaning of "winged sandals" from this, possibly that the wings were attached at the ankles, or the sandals were tied around the ankles. [1] Attestations [ edit ] One of the oldest known representations: [2] Perseus, wearing the talaria and carrying the kibisis over his shoulder, turns his head to kill Medusa on this Orientalizing relief pithos, c. 660 BC, Louvre. Despite the passing of time, the Vans logo with wings has managed to maintain its popularity and relevance, even as fashion trends come and go. Its timeless appeal has made it a favorite among skateboarders, musicians, and fashion enthusiasts alike. The logo is consistently ranked among the most recognizable in the world

The Evolution of the Logo into an Iconic Brand Symbol

In the 1980s and 90s, the shoe with wings logo became synonymous with the brand. It was during this time that the logo gained widespread recognition and popularity. The logo featured a pair of wings attached to a shoe, symbolizing speed, agility, and freedom. The Vans logo with wings has achieved a level of recognition that few other logos can claim. It consistently ranks among the most recognizable and iconic logos in the world. Sometimes, it has been interpreted that Hermes feet are winged, rather that the wings being part of his sandals. [16] In popular culture [ edit ] In the case of the talaria worn by the swift runner Atalanta (Ovid, Metamorphoses X.591) some translators in the past steered away from recognizing them as footwear, and chose to regard them as " long robes, reaching to the ankle", starting with Planudes in the 14th century. This interpretation was also endorsed in the 17th century by Nicolaas Heinsius's gloss, and persisted in the 19th century with Lewis and Short's dictionary entry for this particular passage. [12] But there are "insuperable" reasons against this "robes" interpretation, for Ovid clearly states in the foregoing passages that Atalanta had disrobed [a] to engage in the foot-race. [13] [b]
