Ghillie brogues, yes or no?

[Bugbear]

Well... I don't own a sword.
I feel a little bit the same way. Very glad that people are keeping traditions in Highland dress alive and around, but that's not the direction I'm going. It's a little more like trying to blend in some different fashion ideas with the kilt, but not too far out there. I was inspired by The Wizard's threads on the Freedom Kilts kilt jackets and some other ideas.

This thread has focused me on shoes, so I got out the shoes I bought to dress up my daywear outfit and looked them over. They do have a square toe, but I've seen much squarer. They are brown, four hole lace ups with a heal. Not a real leather sole, but fairly thin. They also have a bit of a shine, and match the color of the casual belt for that outfit. It's a brown corduroy jacket and waistcoat conversion And to dress it down, I have a pair of brown tweed slip on shoes that match a tweed flatcap and go well with the belt. Ehh, minus the waistcoat of course.

Guess those will have to do for my kilt shoes until I put together my eveningwear outfit... Which is why I keep reading this thread.
