Your correct about the "other" definition of ghillie, but the shoes are ghillie brogues or "ghillies".

A brogue (when referring to shoes) generally refers to a leather shoe decorated with perforations and serrated leather.

Ghillies (when referring to shoes) refers to a shoe with no tongue and decorative laces. A ballet shoe would also be a form of a ghillie. However ghillie brogues are commonly referred to as "ghillies".
