Ghillie brogues or "regular" shoes?

[Paul]

Paul, that's definitely the right idea, although I'm not 100% convinced that that's really the right style. The shoe looks to have a fairly long and pointed toe; I'm not sure that they would look as elegant worn with the kilt as they might worn with trousers. I think a more blunt toe-- rounded or square-- might look slightly more appropriate. Since it is hard to make a judgement call from a photograph, I'd suggest you try them on with your kilt to see how they actually look.

That said, I did like you green shoes...

You have a good point. I'm not even sure if my toes would fit in them!
There's a very similar style on the website with a flatter toe - but they're awaiting my size at the moment. I can hold off and just wear ghillies for a wedding next weekend... I'm in no hurry.
I like brogues with regular tie laces or just elasticated with no laces at all - although the elasticated lace-less brogues don't look great with a kilt!

Have you noticed the new type of shine on shoes today ?

They seem to just slightly shimmer...


Best,

I like that shimmer, but it's a drag to keep shimmering... Maybe it's easier for the shoe manufacturers to make them that way?
