Neo Brogues?

You might also want to try Converse. Buy some all black Converse All-Stars, cut out the tongues, and put in bootlaces. It's what I used for casual wear.

The only comment I would make on those converse "brogues", is to try and tie them like proper ghillies. Nick form the Kiltstore goes into it in his ebook. I also found this at

The ghillie brogues should be laced up as follows: http://www.mccallsltd.com/mall/highl...hireFrames.htm

Start off in the usual shoe tying manner by crossing the two laces and pulling tight.
Holding this foundation, criss/cross (twist) the laces four times and pull tight
(this will produce a vertical thong of approximately 1").
Cross the laces around the back of the ankle, bringing both laces back round to the front.
Tie in a normal bow, at the front or to the outside of the ankle, leaving remaining lace and tassle to dangle.
