Price Value Quality I had read the reviews and was nervous about ordering shoes on-line. I called the store and got great advice on what to expect with the fit of the brogues. The brogues fit great and are very comfortable. I would recommend them, especially when they are 40 - 50 dollars cheaper than many other brands. (Posted on 9/10/2018) - Excellent product and service!

Value Quality Price I ordered US size 12, and they sent a UK size 11 with a card that says UK size is different...yadda yadda... They don't fit, and I have zero time for an exchange. I'll be uncomfortable at my wedding. I'd give a better value if I didn't spend the mine for a one time wearing.
[Admin Note: We list our shoes in US Sizes as the majority of our customers are in the US. The US size is 1 size smaller than the UK equivalent - Example: US 10 is a UK 9] (Posted on 3/21/2018) - Positive feedback Jack

Price Value Quality First set of Ghillie's and on a tight budget. After shopping around, went with these. Consulted with customer service about size. I usually wear a US9, and was told the UK8 would fit. Was debating between 8 and 8.5's.
The shoes are excellent quality for the price, but I did find them a bit tight. Length seems to be good, but very narrow, especially with thicker kilt socks. Fortunately they can be stretched a bit, which I think is going to be a must for many people. I'm wondering if the 8.5's might have been the better choice? (For the record, I have a very high arch, so I often find dress shoes a little tight until they get broken in.)
Once they were stretched out, they are very comfortable. Very much enjoying these Ghillie Brogues, and getting lots of compliments.

Quality Price Value I've been wanting to get new ghillies for a long time but could never find what I wanted. I needed a sole that wasn't slippery in the Alaskan/Maine winters. I started my search and found USAKilts. Their shoe was perfect. A good price and a rubber treaded sole. My only complaint is their lack of WIDE sizes. Doesn't anyone in the UK have wide feet? I already went up one full size because of my thick hose, but a wide would be so much better. My thanks to everyone at USA Kilts. (Posted on 11/3/2017)

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.
