So I just got my wedding outfit today (wedding is on Sat 21st) and there were no shoes. They forgot to order them. So I have about 7 days to get shoes.

Suggestions? what and where Do I get them.

Brogues, any pattern will do, you can wear them for day to day after

But black ones with the Prince Charlie. Take it there are no highlandwear shops near you as they all keep them.

best weve got is an Irish shop thats fairly touristy. They have shoes but there selection is limited and is currently sold out.

Any pair of black brogue style shoes should do the trick.

If you already have a pair of Black Dress shoes these will do. Here is a picture to illustrate:

You do not really need Ghillie Brouges In my opinion.

I quite agree. Brogues do not mean that you have to have long laces entwined around your legs! Those things are the least authentic items worn in formal outfits to-day. Ordinary polished black shoes will get you out of trouble.
