Ghillie brogues, yes or no?

[Bugbear]

I think I would prefer the black, polished "mary janes" with the single funtional buckle and round toe.

I'm not sure how that would look with black hose, but since they would be shined, it would probably be alright. I'm not exactly trying to stick to traditional dress in a kilt, though.

It's not an issue to me if someone prefers to wear the ghillie brogues; they look fine. I don't read anyone saying that someone has to wear them.
