Either love 'em or hate 'em.


Personally, I'm not a fan. What about you?

[Bugbear]

From what I've seen of them, no I don't like Ghillie brogues. I like the buckle dress shoes with the rounded toe, or lace up shoes. I don't like wearing wing tip type shoes. That's just what I think of me wearing them; doesn't bother me on other people.

[Jack Daw]

I wear them only when they are appropriate for what's above the waist.

For me, they tip the balance toward "costume." But isn't it great to live in societies where people can choose what they wish to wear, or not wear?

[Brave Andrew]

I really "Love" Ghillie Brogues. I like the look of them.
They complete the look of the traditional Dress kit.
They make a statement that says SCOTLAND or I am Sexy bassar right doon tae my feet!
Or they serve a good arse kickin if someone mentions "nice Skirt."

[Jock Scot]

Not for me, thank you.

I am a bit of a waverer about them. I like them with certain semi-formal outfits but not day-wear or formal dress. They do have a distictive look though and I do like that.

I like the look of them on me and other wearers but in honesty, they are uncomfortable for a day of Piping competitions. Even with hand-knitted hose, the leather insoles are just too stiff and flat to be comfy. I use gel inserts in mine which make them more bearable but are still a bit uncomfy in the toe

[Jack Daw]

They make me feel like I'm wearing wing-tips with Bermuda shorts.

It's either ghillie brogues (Florida Class B), boots with spats (Florida Class A), or flip flops (Florida day wear) for me.
