If they have buckles, they're not ghillie brogues, but buckle brogues.

As for the size, did you account for the difference between US and UK sizing?

Sorry about the quality. Sounds like you got hosed.

That would make them larger. UK to US is around 1/2 to a full size difference and the widths are around 1 letter off.
US to UK
AA=A, A=B, B=C, C=D, D=E, E=F, EE=G, EEE=H.
Its, of course, confusing since different makes use different lasts and sometimes a B on one last is like a C or an A on other. A 10 can be a 10 1/2 or even a 9 1/2 in the same system from another maker (or even the same company using other materials or on another last).

Yes, of course I accounted for the difference in UK and US measurements, by one size. I wear a US 10 1/2 so ordered a UK size 9 1/2, but they are at least one size too small. As Nanook says, sizes seem to be inconsistent and all over the place these days, for both clothes and shoes.
