Agreed on both counts!

The Semple shoes are a mix of ordinary brogues, Ghillie brogues, Mary Janes, and the "kiltie" shoes with the decorative flaps over the laced portion. (I don't know what those shoes are properly called. I've seen the flaps sold separately as well.)

And yes nearly all the Balmorals are blue. I would have worn a plain dark blue one if I had such. It's a traditional Highland dress essential! (If one comes up on Ebay in my size I'll grab it.)

There are two non-blue Balmorals in my 1930s edition: MacEwan (sort of Khaki Drab) and Graham of Menteith (a neutral colour somewhere in the middle of Lovat Green, Fawn, and Khaki Drab).
