Default Need a good set of ghillie brogues

Been hunting for a while now. Most of the models I have seen in the Scottish imports shops are $180 or more but are the same POS, Pakistan made shoes, listed on eBay for $50.

I don't mind paying for good shoes but trying to find good shoes is the problem.

Wanted: all leather, black, ghillie brogues, size 9D.

Any Scotties or pipers with a link to good brogues here in Canada?

Have you looked at other shoe makers? I know a few people that wear Dr Martens for comfort. I would have a look anywhere dress shoes are sold.

Thanks but Doc Martens are not anything close to what I am looking for. Ghillie brogues are not a common item on any shoe store shelf, hence the search.

Any Scotties or pipers out there that know what ghillie brogues are? So far any of the online sources are also the crappy Pakistan made shoes.

I have a set that was for sale but they're maybe an 8.5. They're in UK sizing so it's in the middle. PM me and I'll let you konw. have to dig them out.

Anything else you want? I've got loads of kit.

Can't find a size, you're welcome to pop by my office and try them on.
