I have to admit that I'm a bit shocked by some of the hostility displayed here against a traditional Scottish shoe. I know there are a lot of less-than-traditional folks in this forum, but to take such strong stance against something as traditional (and in style) as ghillie brogues seems to go beyond the point of proper decorum.
