Josh:

I can commiserate with you on wearing the brogues for hours on end. There is a product out there called Ghillilators, which I have heard good things about. They are a ghillie brogue made with a synthetic polymer, similar to what you find in Crocs. If you google Ghillilators, you can find their website. They are getting good reviews from pipers about their comfort and that they can be worn on long parade days with great comfort. Apparently, they are also light-weight, another plus. All this being said, I don't own a pair and am only passing on what I have heard. Ordering them from the Ghillalators site can get you a pair for around $50 USD.
