Buckle brogues yes, Ghillie no: Come & have a go if you think you are 'ard enough

If anyone likes these ones they are for sale at a mere £5 + P+P (I take PayPal).

I could be interested but I don't understand how they are fitted, mt shoes very definitly need a bar in the buckle to fasten them and the one on the left looks as if its missing the hole - I've probably missed the point... What material are they made of? Can they be polished?

It's just my opinion, but buckled shoes with a kilt is screaming catholic schoolgirl to me.

Is that wishful thinking? If you saw my legs you would not be thinking Catholic Schoolgirl, not unless you're a deeply disturbed person...

They are brass, silver plated. I treated them with the stuff from John Lewis that re-silvers them and they look a lot better now. The little balls around the edge appear to be cut steel. They are 6cm at their longest point and 3.8 cm tapering down to 3.2 cm wide. They are not missing the hole - that is a leather insert and kept as a template for the bit of leather that fits onto the shoe. The width of the bar is 2.3 cm, a bit narrower than the ones that come with the shoes. I found it quite a struggle squeezing the attachment leather through because of the metal studs on the piece of leather.
