Casual shoe / ghillie alternative
Some time ago, I posted this photo of me in a kilt, which I no longer wear...
A lot of people commented on my shoes, which are a discontinued line of Skechers - a favorite pair that I've had re-soled once.
I'm always on the lookout for something like them, and noticed the other day when I was buying a new pair of shoes for work from Johnson & Murphy (brogues, actually, for use with kilts, too), I saw that they had these I think would be pretty good for summer casual wear with the kilt.
My one hesitation is that I think their profile may be just a little bit too slim for my taste. If I get the chance, I may go back for a second look.
Regards,
Rex.

I think I may well have a first look. As the Big Yin would say "smart, but casual".

I have looked at other Skechers for a casual kilt shoe, but I do like your original ones too. With my feet being wide sometimes it's hard to find a good looking shoe that's comfortable. My Ecco's are comfy but brown and I think black is a better choice, for my taste.

I too like both of your choices for the casual look while kilted.
Black is my choice of color.

I think that would pass the Hamish test for casual wear, they are not sandals but a bit more sophisticated.

I think they'd look fine with dark coloured hose in a casual setting, or in beastly hot weather during the day.

They look good to me, but ANYTHING other than a ghillie is better looking than a ghillie (IMHO, of course).

Rest assured, Rathdown, I rarely wear the hose either, unless its with boots, scrunched down.

They look sort of like a modernized ghillie brogue - I like 'em.

That, Rex, is why you are one of my sartorial heroes.
