They are a generic black brogue - that is, not specifically Highland dress brogues - and have a welted rubber sole.

If you are looking for 'proper' brogues, check out these - https://stkildastore.com/store/Clear...s/Duke-Brogues - Scotch grain leather uppers and fully-welted leather sole. Others on this forum have bought them and have been delighted.

A Scotch grain Highland brogue intended for wearing with Highland dress - why would you want anyhthing different..?

I am a very satisfied owner and wearer of these shoes, and I can attest that they look and feel great.

We had a party a few days ago, and I wore this. A bit simpler than some of the previous photos.



Also, as a note that getting quality does last, the following picture is of my wife and I dated on the back 1987. That is the same kilt and sporran. And I still use the same bonnet, hose and flashes now and again. Although I do have some extenders on the straps now.



I believe I have shrunk, as I seem to show a little less knee these days...

Know what you mean by shrinking, I’ve lost 1.5 inches due to age and back surgery. Last surgery they fused my lower four vertebrae.
