Ghillie Brogues: just for formal wear

[StevieR]

Not for me anytime. I did a lot of research (loads of advice on XMTS of course) before I decided what I liked best. I bought a pair of black military brogues - http://www.sanders-uk.com/shop/product/braemar-5597b - for all daywear. When I get around to wearing my kilt for a black tie event, it will be a pair of plain black oxfords, or these - http://www.sanders-uk.com/shop/product/blackwall-5215b - all nice and shiny, of course.

... nice and shiny, of course.

A big "Plus One" on the nice and shiny -- whether it be my oxfords or my brogues.

I think it's really a matter of personal taste. I happen to really like mine.

Were not ghillie brogues originally huntsmans' shoes, securely laced so they would not be pulled off one's feet when trudging through viscous muck?

After all, the modern version of someone who dons a ghillie suit "for work"...

...is a military sniper.

Stevie dig these.
I am a bit of a shoe whore and these are on my list.

Andy, nothing can replace the tradition of ghillie brogues, one day I will own a pair.
But there are several stylish options available. My Stacy Adams dress up quite nice.
