From The Artelio Cobbler:
When I build a terracotta brogue, I want warmth without losing polish. The Brasilia in terracotta leather has a rich brown-family tone, classic wingtip detail, and a layered sole that makes the shoe feel distinctive. It dresses up easily, but it still has enough ease for denim, chinos, and less formal days.
Key Features
- Leather upper
- Wingtip brogue detailing
- Lace-up derby shape
- Layered wood-grain sole
- Lightweight non-slip bottom
- Leather lining
- Cushioned leather insole
- Hand-stitched welt detail
Construction
The Brasilia is built as a lace-up wingtip brogue derby with a hand-stitched leather welt detail. The layered sole gives the shoe its signature look, while the lightweight non-slip bottom adds practical grip for everyday wear.
The leather lining and cushioned insole make the shoe more comfortable than a traditional hard dress shoe, while the brogue pattern keeps the style sharp and distinctive.
Best For
- Smart casual outfits
- Polished office days
- Dinners out
- Denim and chinos
Care
Wipe the leather with a soft cloth after wear. Use a small amount of quality leather conditioner when the leather starts to feel dry, and polish as needed to maintain the depth of color. Avoid soaking the shoe. If it gets wet, let it dry naturally away from direct heat.

Store owner replied: Marcus, thank you—I’m really glad to hear that. That Terracotta is a great color. Appreciate you taking the time to share this, and if you ever need anything, just let me know. Tim
I used to buy Ecco or Cole haan. These shoes are stylish comfortable and it's like walking on air. The nice thing about them is they hold up really well. I wear them every day. It is like wearing a tennis shoe but yet very dressy.

We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience—and we’re honored to be in the same conversation as Ecco and Cole Haan. Thanks again! —Tim
The "Polished" shoes arrive some five days ago and I have worn them for three of the days. The shoes are very nicely made, with excellent leather and great construction. Best of all, they fit! I have relatively narrow feet and the European 11.5 size tends to run narrow compared to US sizes. At the price, they are an incredible bargain. I could pay $350 and not get better shoes.

I saw the add for Polished mens shoes on line. I visited their site and was very pleased with th merchandise. I ordered my first pair of shoes and a belt from polished. When I received the package I found a hand written note inside from one of the owners. I have never experienced that before. I noticed that my shoes arrived but not the belt. I emailed Polished and within a couple of hours got an email from Tim, one of the owners. He apologized and sent me a replacement belt. After experiencing this high customer service I placed another order for another pair of shoes another belt and a card holder. I did receive my replacement belt and it was of the highest quality. My first pair of shoes I received blew me away. They were made of quality leather and the manufacturing of the shoe was superb. They are also very comfortable. I am truly a customer for life.
Salvatore Z. 5/5
I generally wear a 10 or 10.5 US size depending on the shoe. I measured per the instructions and ordered size 10 hesitantly - and they fit great. This shoe runs relatively narrow (I have wideish feet) but after 10 minutes or so I was perfectly comfortable and I'm sure they'll move a bit from here. Shipping was very fast - I was expecting to wait for a couple of weeks at least, and the shoes arrived with a personalized note, extra laces, and a protective bag. They were just as they appear on the website, which isn't always the case. I'll be buying more no doubt!

Store owner replied: Terry, thanks for this review! 99% of buyers don't make the effort to leave a review, but every one helps future buyers make a good decision (and of course they help US sell more shoes!), so thank you for writing this. I'm glad it was a good experience. If we can help with anything or if you ever have questions, don't hesitate to reach out. Again, thanks!
I recently purchased my 3rd and 4th pair of Polished shoes. These shoes fit, wear, and present like no other shoes I have owned. I have spent more and I have spent less on shoes all with the same result. Tired feet and frustrated with what I paid for and didn't receive. The customer service is what I expected. They quickly resolved my issue and stayed in contact during the process. The shoes are the most comfortable shoes I have owned. I can wear them all day and my feet aren't fatigued. Glad I stumbled across Polished and gave them a try.

Store owner replied: Dear Bobby, Thanks for taking the time to write us a review. We are glad you liked the shoes and thanks for supporting Polished!
Like all leather shoes, they do need to be broken in. But once they are -- they are both comfortable and eye catching. I love the blue leather with the dapper yellow laces! It's great look. This is a quality product for a very reasonable price. Highly recommend! Thanks Polished!
Bernie A. 5/5
Store owner replied: Bernie, I (Tim) am not always brave enough to wear the yellow laces, but on days when I do, they always get compliments! =) Glad you are enjoying them. Thanks for the good review!
The Brasilia shoes arrived and look as sharp and attractive in real life as they do in the images! These shoes feel like craftsmanship. The shoes don't look like a run-of-the-mill pair from the local mall. From the quality of the leather to the soles, these shoes stand out and feel like they will last for many years. I bought these as gifts for my clients, and I couldn't think of a better gift for a business professional. Shoes that make you stand out, shoes that make a great first impression, and shoes that make you feel confident walking into a board meeting.
Chris 5/5
Store owner replied: Awesome idea (client gift). And thanks for your kind words. I'm glad you like them! I (Tim) wore my Blue pair of Brasilias today, and people commented on them favorably as they almost always do. I also have the same pair in Terra Cotta and I love both of them. Anyway, thanks for buying, and for reviewing. We appreciate your business!
I love a great looking shoe that is super comfortable and still has traction on the sole...this fits all my checkboxes. You'll be pleased to see how much cushion there is. I am a 10 shoe size and ordered a 44 but it was a little big so I just placed a new order for a size 43 to see how that fits. I can still wear the larger shoes with thicker socks. Very pleased with the quality.
Matt 5/5
Store owner replied: Thanks, Matt! Glad you like the shoes. We'll definitely help you figure out the right size. If you haven't already returned the first pair, just let us know at returns@polished.shoes and we'll make it easy to send them back for a refund. Also let us know if you have any questions about fit or anything. Thanks!
These shoes have quickly become my favorites. They are well made, look great, and are very comfortable. They work well with jeans or a suit and everything in between. Simply put, they are one of the best pair of shoes I've ever owned. To top it off, the guys at Polished provided excellent service which made this purchase a great experience!
Joel G. 5/5
Store owner replied: Thank you, Joel—glad you like the shoes and the service.
The quality, construction and fit, and polished terracotta color of the Brasilia was exactly what I wanted. The size fits my narrow feet perfectly. It's a comfortable dress shoe with a slightly ribbed rubber sole. The heal of the shoe is wood with a rubber bottom that is not only cool looking but functional. And it has a small blue trim on the sole that's subtle and unique. As with the other pair of Polished by Brazil shoes that I purchased, I was especially pleased with the all-leather construction (and smell). I've worn these shoes with two different suits and a pair of dress jeans, and I like both looks. Highly recommended.

Store owner replied: Brent, thanks for this great review! We might have to hire you to write our product descriptions in the future — this was great! Thanks for your order, and for writing such a thoughtful review. We appreciate your support!
These are super classy shoes. I have them in blue, and I get a lot of positive comments, especially when I wear them with the yellow laces. Even though I know you're supposed to let leather breathe and not wear the same shoe every day, I've found myself wearing this pair more days than not. Super comfortable and very classy.
