    Wingtips are brogues but not all brogues are wingtips. Brogues refer to shoes decorated with punched holes and serrated leather. Wingtips are brogues where the decoration on the toe resembles the shape of wings.

    That said the term wingtips is frequently used to describe all brogues, particularly in the US.

    Hope that helps.
