Not to worry, they will only be there for a short time before they fall down!
Ghillies come with such long laces it seemed they were made to wear high. So I do (I have no interest in what band members do, dress-code wise). I pin my laces and they stay put all day.
There are other opinions in a big world.

Yes the pinning of laces has been mentioned when this topic has come up.
I don't see the purpose.
If you tie the laces around the narrow part of the leg it's impossible for them to go up or down unless they become untied. I do double-knot the laces so that can't happen... it's not a good thing for a piper's shoes to come untied while he's marching about!
Never pinned, never seen it done, everyone's ghillie laces stay in place just fine all day.

Although I don't wear Gillie brogues so often, I prefer the military type brogues. I twist them six times before wrapping around the leg and I found this to be most comfortable.
