That's not the end of it, Ron! Here in the United Kingdom, it is the unavailability nowadays of half-sizes in shoes/boots that gets to me. Having a perfect 9½ sized foot (and a perfectly turned ankle to match!!!), I find I am either crippled by having to buy a 9 or am obliged to wear insoles, etc. if I buy a 10.
Oh, by the way, I DO have two feet and two ankles ;)

Aye Ham,
'tis SO SAD to see technology overwhelm craftsmanship and service in so many areas.

Can I use these shoes for dress purposes?
They're brogues, not ghillie brogues though...

Robin,
I do use them for dress occasions, and find that no one says anything to me about it. However unfortunately, I am not known for my great fashion sense.

I've seen several pictures of guys wearing those with kilts. Many were posted on these boards. I think it looks fine, personally.

Robin, those wingtip shoes are quite accaptable for dress occasions.
I bought a pair of ghillie brogues, but almost wish I hadn't. The laces are a pain in the posterior.
