Please don't get me started on the Ghillie brogues - I've given my opinion in this place more times than is good for my health! They were designed for formal evening wear (not SO many years ago), but seem to have been adopted in recent times for day wear - even informal day wear! Ugggh!
The buckle shoes are far more historically authentic, and look really good with full evening dress. A few months ago, I bought a pair of the Glenfinnan shoes from Mackenzie-Frain www.mackenziefrain.com, but have not yet had a 'dressy' opportunity to wear them. They look marvellous however (thinks: must get a photo done!). Before I had these, and was dressed to the nines in Prince Charlie, etc., I'd wear polished black standard brogues.
