'ghillie' sandals en lieu of boots for casual?

Well, the link doesn't work up there anymore, but this is an interesting old thread. I have a black and a brown pare of sandals that have straps around the ankles that I wear with my BZK. I also have a pare of black leather slides, that I have worn with hose. Those remind me a little of ghillies but without a back. It is too hot out here for hose in the summer...

I think that the sandals in question were by Keen, like the H2 models. These have elastic lacing up the top of the foot, securing several straps which perhaps resemble the uppers of a ghillie brogue.
