Loake makes a fantastic pair of highly polished, black leather ghillie brogues, F (average to narrow) fitting, with goodyear welted leather soles. Of course, all of my day brogues I wear with my Highland attire are from Loake, and I stand behind the unsurpassed quality. Loake will go so far as to provide a complete re-sole service once you reach that point with your shoes. The ghillies offered by Loake are quite smart and do not look anything like the other more 'clunky' ghilles one sees today - I do not like those either Scott! I plan to order a pair from Loake, insert red laces and affix a pair of silver buckles to the toes, and wear them for Highland evening attire - just like P/M John Burgess, or my good friend, P/M Gordon Walker.

Slainte,

I posted this question elsewhere, but I don't have a reply yet, and it may be useful here too:

Where and how does one attach the buckles- (also, where can they be purchased)?

Cheers,

Michael

and here's a picture of the man himself... (Note how he shines above the rest ever so slightly). (Of course that is to say nothing about their piping abilities!)
