Why are Ghillie brogues so expensive?

[timm13]

If anyone is interested, these are the lowest priced Ghillie Brogues I have found on the internet after a week of searching. They're made of leather and synthetic materials. Shipping is around $30.

"Some people know the cost of everything and the value of nothing." You can pay over a hundred bucks for a pair of Nikes...

I'd rather have Nikes than ghillie brogues. I'd rather have strappy Walmart sandals than ghillie brogues, and I would rather wear those with my kilt than ghillie brogues . Guess I don't like ghillie brogues.

* I'm just joking, but I don't like wearing wing tip style shoes. Ghillies with a rounder toe would be fine.

I'm still planning on getting a pair of converses, tearing out the tongue, adding boot laces, and voilà! Casual ghillie brogues!

Na, just leave them the way they are and you'll be fine. I want to get some moccasin boots to go with a couple of my kilts. Even those low top mocs would be nice. Guess I just ain't very formal.

If God wanted me to wear synthetic shoes he would have made synthetic cows.

Why are they so expensive?

Hey! You try to catch a Ghillie, skin him and tan it!

Plus, if they're wearing those suits, they are REALLY hard to find.
