Tobus beat me to it, I was going to post a photo of these Thistle Shoes Scotland "grained" ghillie brogues
which I'm strongly considering ordering.
I wouldn't try to bring them to a shine. I would think "why?" When they look great just as they are.
BTW my grandfather joined the US Army around 1913, the very small peacetime army. He said that the boots were rough-out and yet they brought them to a high polish.
