I have a pair of ghillie brogues I purchased on The Scotland Yard's time pay plan two years ago and they are still good and comfy, though I don't wear them daily.

Please make certain they're leather and not cost saving Corfam.
Otherwise, it'll be no bargain. Learnt the hard way. Corfam is a synthetic leather made by DuPont.
Its only bad feature is that you'll have a pair of shoes that are permanently 'new'.
Slainte,

Yes, very good point. The ones I bought needed a break in period and then they were very comfortable, leather does that.
