3 Styles · 5000+ Tartans
Ghillie Brogues
Ghillie brogues in genuine leather with no tongue and long laces that cross the instep, wrap the ankle and tie below the calf. The open lacing and missing tongue are practical in origin, since both let water drain out on wet ground, and both survived into formal wear. The traditional shoe for a kilt outfit, in black and brown, with leather or hard wearing composite soles. Soles are leather or hard wearing composite. Leather is the traditional choice and looks correct with formal dress but wears faster on wet ground. Composite grips better and lasts longer, which matters if you are standing outdoors at a games day or a ceremony. Order your usual shoe size, since the open lacing accommodates a wider range of foot shapes than a laced Oxford does.
