I suppose I had better chip in. I am from a generation that rarely saw ghillie brogues in our formative years, in fact the first time I saw a pair being worn was in the late 1950's I am afraid to say I laughed long and loud. I know this sounds dreadfully snooty, but ever since I have regarded them as footwear for dancers and/or, almost a sure sign of kilt hire. For general kilt wear------and don't forget we wore(still do) the kilt regularly for normal day wear in pretty rural surroundings------those ghillie things were and still are totally impractical.But if you want to parade around thinking "I am being a real Highlander" whilst walking into the cinema, or some such, with those most useless bits of footwear that any one could dream up on your feet, then do carry on.
