Ghillies are generally worn to formal occations, I suspect many who complain about Ghilies being uncomfortable only wear them to rare formal occations and therefore they never get broken in!!
I do wear ghillies to formal occasions but Brogues to others, I do not find any difference in comfort with either. Although it's a bit of a pain, tieing and keeping the ties on ghillies looking straight.
I've worn fairly thick socks for 40 years, military issue, though now I have to buy them. So that may account for my feet being comfortable in Brogues / shoes / Ghilles.
Outside of the Experts on here, there would be few who would notice whether or not you had a tongue fitted inside the shoe. Especially if you wore dark or Black hose.
