hmm... brogues?

[Tattoo Bradley]

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.

There are these milsurp brogues.

Oatmeal:
Unfortunately, the link you gave me has shoes up to one size too small for me. I can wear a UK size 12/US 13, but I often opt for larger if I can. I am also thinking about searching for some brown brogues... I have seen them! Given that a good chunk of nice accessories are going to be brown (and I like brown leather), a set of brown brogues would really set everything off nicely, and lend a "dressier" air to everything. Anyone know a place w/ these? Tartan Museum, or Scotwebstore? It seems that WPG was out of size 12 brogues, so if I am going to pay full price, I might as well get one of the varieties I have really taken a liking too. For the record, I also like the Glenfinnans, but would need to save for about a month, and take some really precise measurements before dumping $250 on a pair of *nice* shoes.
