My new brogues

[creagdhubh]

They look quite smart, but be sure to check out Loake as well. All of my high-polished black, brown, tan, dark brown, and mahogany brogue style shoes (full and half brogues, UK size 10, F fitting) come from Loake. They also make a "Ghillie Brogue", complete with the long laces and open tongue. They are very nice, as they do not have the disgusting chunky sole and heel that most commerical Ghillie Brogues have today. Loake's ghillies, like in all of their shoes, are hand-made and the quality is just superb. Most of their brogue styles are around $255-300 a pair, not including Loake cedar shoe-trees, which are mandatory in my opinion. A fair price for the attention to detail and wonderul English craftsmanship you receive. I have owned Loake shoes for 5 years now and am quite the satisfied customer!

My Loake 758's in action whilst performing the Highland Fling! I typically take my leather-soled brogues off whilst dancing, or wear soft-soled dance ghillies, but this was a last minute Fling with no time for either of the preceding!


Cheers!
