Ghillie brogues boots ?

I think they look kind of cheap and plastic looking, personally. I think they are, in fact, leather boots (though I'm not positive that the padded collar is leather?) Personally, if I were buying a pair of brogued boots, I'd look for something like the Allen Edmonds Bayfield or the Alden 9 eyelet Wingtip Boot. I totally acknowledge that there is a HUGE price difference between what you've referenced in this thread and those two particular products, however. That being said, I don't think I'd spend $100 on these. Everybody has their own preferences though.

Well, yeah, they do look cheap, I don't think I'd buy those exact boots either. Maybe a variation on them though from somewhere else.

According to Google, there is no shortage of other brogue boots out there:

I liked that last photo the most. I could see myself wearing that...

I believe those are the Loake Banks brogue boot

What is it about them that you favour over the others?

I like the colors, combined with the fact that I can visibly see the grain of the leather. I also like that they are somewhat worn (or appear that way)... If I were to get a pair like this, they would be for casual outings. Currently I have motorcycle boots that are a little like that.

I know that Reid Kilts do them - www.reidkilts.com.
They are in the brogues section. I am going to buy a pair as i am with the Tartan army that follows scottish football. I have seen them on many of the fans going to the games and i think they look great! Ask for Peter if you decide to email Reidkilts, he's one of the most helpful people i've spoken to!

Those boots are nice! They look better than the ebay ones.

Those are made by Thistle/AE Struther. Anyone who carries Thistle shoes (myself included) can get them. I've never ordered them because no one has ever asked for them. They do look interesting!
