Price Value Quality I searched high and low for a nice pair of ghillies in a women's shoe to no avail. This was the only option I could find that was not a child's shoe. They are comfortable and well made and were a great value, especially with the sale and coupon! Customer service at USA Kilts can't be beat!

Value Quality Price I'm very satisfied with these shoes. I normally wear a 12 or a 13 so I went with the 12.5 and they fit perfect! At first I saw they were a 11.5 but then saw the little paper explaining they were UK sizes. I brought these shoes on my first cruise with my girlfriend and wore them with my formal kilt wear (I just acquired 2 weeks ago) on formal night. Got some great professional pictures on the ship and had a lot of heads turn and compliments on my kilt. The shoes looked great and exactly what goes with the outfit. They were also very comfortable as I wore them for about 6 hours. I put a quick coat of Kiwi shoe polish on them and it added a nice little shine to them. Overall I highly recommend these shoes!

Price Value Quality The only place that has Ghillies small enough for my 11 year old son whom plays with a pipe band. These are comfortable for him to march in! Great quality product! Even better price! (Posted on 5/31/2017) - These are excellent brogues Chris

Quality Price Value To begin with USA Kilts gives the most amazing and helpful customer service. I will buy all my kilt needs through them in the future. These shoes are great I am a 10 1/2 wide, the 11 wide fit great. Remember, the socks are larger than dress socks or crew socks and so they fill up the shoe. (Posted on 5/1/2017) - Excellent Will

Quality Price Value Great shoes. Good materials, well constructed, comfortable - well, when you order the correct size! I ordered "my" size and these brogues were about a size too small. I called right away, left a message, and they called me back. I had the right size on my feet in about three days. AMAZING customer service. (Posted on 4/12/2017) - Very happy KEVIN

Value Quality Price The shoes are well made and of reasonably high quality. The run a bit snug in width so if you are wearing thick hose with them I'd suggest purchasing a full size larger. Shoes arrived in a couple of days...Nice! (Posted on 3/7/2017) - Great Buy Italian/Irish

Fun Facts
As the highlands of Scotland have a plethora of rainy days and bogs and rivers to trek through, the highlanders living there needed footwear appropriate for the climate. Out of necessity was born the Ghillie Brogue.
The ghillie brogue started out as a shoe that would allow water to drain quickly. They have a pattern of holes (similar to ‘wing tips’) and do not have tongues. This is to give water a way to escape while they walked. They also have laces which wrap around the leg. This is so the wearer’s shoe won’t get stuck in the mud while walking.
Tying Ghillie Brogues - While there are a few different ways to tie them, this is the way we find the best:
1. Put on the shoes and pull the laces tight.
2. While pulling them taut and holding them near the ends, twist the laces around each other 4 times, clockwise.
3. Pull the laces straight out to each side (one in either direction) to make a small, 1” high ‘column’ of twists right above the top of the shoe.
4. Next pass the laces behind your leg in opposite directions so that they cross in the back, about 2” to 3” up from the top of the heel of the shoe (around your Achilles). Make half knot in back and tighten it.
5. Bring the laces around to the front, about 4” to 5” above the top of the shoe. Make a half knot and tie the shoes (make “bunny ears”). I highly recommend double knotting the shoes to keep them from coming undone.
If you're not going to remember how to do this later, we suggest printing out this page and keeping it in the box with your shoes until you can do it from memory.
