Ghillie style shoes

[Bugbear]

I prefer to wear shoes with the rounded toe rather than the wingtip like the brogues and those types of shoes. Sounds kind of interesting. I think most people would prefer the other style though.

I probably don't know enough about the way shoes are constructed and so on to fully understand what you are trying to ask now that I re-read your question. Sorry.

It is my impression that my customers object most strongly with the lack of a tongue and long laces. They usually like the brogueing. Many ask if a wider or square toed brogue is available or if they can get a modern, modified buckle shoe instead of the Ghillie Brogue

Yes, this has been the complaint of many kilt wearers.
