Another option for "OK" footwear are www.fugawee.com or www.robertlandhistoricshoes.com
The Captain is correct. Some other sources:

If you want soft cuaran or "moccasin" type footwear, these look the closest to what highlanders actually wore (though they are over-priced!):

I always thought Jarnagin's had some of the best shoes available (again, pricey!). Click on "footwear" on the left:

Probably the best deal on period shoes, is here:

On any of the buckle-style shoes, the latchets can be cut back and laces used instead. I prefer to do this because buckles always loosen up over time....
