Well, Phil, I have no notion of what the origins of the lacing might be (yes, I freely admit it) but, to me, the way it is carried up above the ankle just looks so ghastly - and few guys seem to get it right anyway. Like plain white hose, Ghillie shoes have been much popularised by the kilt hire companies. To my mind, a pair of plain black, polished brogues serve the same purpose and look much smarter.
As Graham mentioned, Ghillie dancing pumps, for Scottish Country Dancing, are another matter altogether. But even with those, the lacing need not be taken above the ankle!
