Those are the very Ghillies for that.
But they're not designed for being used as shoes in the ordinary sense, being thinner than even Native American moccasins.
Perhaps more suitable would be the Ghillie-inspired footwear I've seen.
They strike me as a hybrid of modern Ghillie-brogues, Native American moccasins, and the RR McIan illustrations.

This particular maker is in California and they had a booth at one of our Highland Games.
In person the shoes looked sturdy and well-made and would stand up to quite a bit of use. I've seen these being worn at local Renaissance Fairs.
