That brings up an interesting question (for me at least) about this norm. We know from photos and paintings that the ghillie brogue was worn in the past. There are any number of reasons it may have fallen out of favor ranging from the normal change in fashion to larger scale manufacturing and more ready availability of other shoes. So is the ghillie brogue not the norm because it is improper or because it is unnecessary (i.e. most men have another pair of suitable shoes which can be worn with the kilt and other outfits)?
