Wide Sized Ghillies?
I'm one of those people who has to wear a wide size (EE width) shoe. I have yet to find traditional Ghillie Brogues in wide sizes. All I can find is medium/regular width & these are too tight for my feet.
Does anybody know of a source for wide (EE) sized Ghillies?
Thanks.

I seem to recall that Rocky at USA kilts has a source on wide ghillies. Give him a ring...
"A veteran, whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve, is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America", for an amount of "up to and including my life." That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it." anon

A lot of us folk in Scotland have EE width feet so if you contact a few of the stores based in Scotland they will either have a pair in your size or be able to point you to somewhere that does.

You would think so, huh? 
That's why I can't figure out everywhere I look being told "sorry, we don't carry anything but medium/regular width"...

Contact Scott Chalmers at Gaelic Themes in Glasgow-- they manufacture an excellent range of ghillies and should be able to supply the size you need.
