Traditional Handsewn Kilts
and Accessories
Shoes/Bròige
HOUGH OF COURSE ANY FOOTWEAR IS acceptable with Highland Dress, the traditional choice for many has always been Ghillie or Buckled Brogues.All prices are in Canadian funds. Canadian residents must pay GST (5%). Ontario residents must also pay PST (8%).
The Ghillie Brogue
Ghillie Brogues are the basis of the modern wingtip or brogue, but lack a tongue and have extra-long tasseled laces which tie around the ankle. These features were originally for practical reasons. When walking through sodden bogs, one could easily lose his shoe in the muck. Laces tied up high around the ankle helped prevent this. In addition, the pattern of holes (decorative today) and the absence of a tongue were designed to allow water to effectively drain from the shoe.
Brown is the colour of choice for day wear according to traditionalists, however, black has also proven popular for its versatility.
How to Tie Ghillie Brogues: Tie a normal loop and tighten the laces. Twist 3-6 times. Pull the laces round your ankle and bring to the front. Tie into a normal knot (or double knot). The knot can be worn to the front or the outside of the leg.
IMPORTANT: These Ghillie Brogues are made in North American sizes.
