I hate the silly things, I don't think they look good, and I refuse to wear them. For caual wear I usualy use hiking boots ( see pict) and for dressier times, including formal wear I stick to good dress shoes, with or without buckles.

I've actually often wondered where the whole "extra long laces" thing came from for ghillie brogues. Does anyone know the actual history of it?

I suspect the very long laces go back to when the hose needed to be wrapped with a thong to stay up. The thong held the footwear snug and wrapped up the leg to hold the leggings in place.

I don't know where my mind is this evening.
All of a sudden I had an image in my head of kilt hose being tied in place with a pair of thong underwear - like some frat house flashes or something.
Man that was frightening. Maybe I need to go to bed.

He's been doing that a lot lately, hasn't he (does "eat by the light of a 'full moon?'" ring a bell?).

Well, he IS an ex fireman. An off center sense of humor is required in that line of work.
