Hi Gents,
I've a black tie event to attend in a few months, and I am in need of help.

My beloved old pair of full brogues just gave up the ghost after our state Highland Games this past weekend. They were too old and hadn't been worn much recently, and when they hit the boggy field, the water eventually did it's work. The uppers on both shoes cracked through in multiple places when they dried out.

So... here I sit. I know that traditionally Highland style is somewhat eclectic. I don't want to seem silly or out of place, though.

Do you think a shoe similar to the below would be suitable?

Or is it too close to a buckle brogue without being on target?

Mine are very similar, but with a basic buckle rather than the one shown, and without the lines scribed on the toe.

My other option would be to go buy a new pair of brogues and get them broken in before Nov. (it's a ball, and I'm NOT dancing in stiff new shoes).

The rest of my outfit as planned is:
Black Argyll and (hopefully) 3 button waistcoat
Plain front tux shirt and studs
Hand tied black bow tie (silk)
kilt
Most likely a skunk sporran - either full mask or as my #11 (seen elsewhere).

I'm also stuck on hose. I'd like diced hose, but I'd really prefer to wait on those until I get my KILT made, which won't happen until next calendar year.

As of right now I was planning on dark green hose with red flashes.

Any thoughts? Are the shoes decent or should I start breaking in a new pair of brogues?
