A shoe of any other name - still a brouge?

I agree with MacMillan, I feel that with a doublet a more formal shoe looks best, with the PC ghillie brouges or wingtips look fine.

I think evening dress requires evening shoes, either the buckle and strap shoe, or a pump of some sort, buckled or not. You could wear brogues if they are thin soled and more "streamlined" in shape, instead of heavy clodhoppers with running boards.

IMHO.

Damn, but that's funny! Nothing better to end the evening than a good armagnac, a good cigar, and a good laugh.

To your good health, my friend!

Yes I agree. I might add that almost anything, even "clodhoppers", are better than those dreadful ghillie things.

With day wear I usually wear my Dr. Marten brogues which in the catalog is surprisingly called the "Saxon" model.
