Thanks O'Neille,
I sent some questions to the seller, asking about shipping and what not.
*I REALLY despise typos. I try to type faster, and I bugger the whole lot.
Sorry about mispelling your name O'Neille!

I've been looking at a pair from him. I'd definately go with the composite if you're only going one pair.

The What Price Glory site doesn't say ghillie brogues, just brogues, but it does say formal, so it's hard to be certain. Keep in mind that ghillie brogues really are for formal wear. Pipers wear them for the same reason waiters at nice resturants wear tuxes. I never wear mine if I'm not playing, except for dress occasions. Whatever shoes you would normally wear in any situation will work as well with a kilt.

Planopiper:
It does, you are correct. On the same hand, it would be nice to have a set of dress-ier shoes to go with my kilts. Formal wear... yeah I know... but I would likely wear them with my kilts whenever I had the desire, or need to dress a little sharper... and since a cleaner, and slightly more professional look is always appreciated at one of my jobs, they might not be too out of place there. Of course, a set of Dr. Martin's boots, witha neutral coloured hose would likely look just as sharp.
I do want to get a pair of brogues though... it would help complete an ensemble.
Hmm... Brown low top boots, khaki hose, complimenting flashes, Gordon kilt, neutral coloured shirt, sounds like a clean set up to me.

I believe those brogues are a standard heavy dress shoe, not a ghille brogue. On that basis a pair of wingtips would do you well if you want a dress shoe unless you're copying a uniform.

Instead of buying them used, have you checked out Penny's of Thunderbay? http://www.pennys.ca/accessories.php May not be the best, but I am sure it will make do. I can't comment on their products yet, as my order from 3 weeks ago has not arrived yet.
