Protip: if you order these from the Florsheim website, you can use the code LINK20 for a 20% discount. That makes them about $135 with free shipping.

Neither were the shoes being discussed, but a while back I ended up buying both a pair of brown shoes and black shoes. I think both are bluchers, though the black were being sold as "Oxfords."
You'll just have to get two pairs.

Re: My new official kilt shoe
Actually, as an old leatherworker, I would disagree about the dye. My experience has been that once a finish has been put on the leather, the dye doesn't often penetrate as well and you often may end up with mottling.

Re: My new official kilt shoe
I dig 'em. Can we see a pic with the brown brogue boots and a kilt please?
Broguing seems to be popular these days... I've recently even seen sneakers done that way.

I'll second that Robert. A nice tweed jacket and waistcoat would be just the ticket with those.

Encouraged by the pictures posted by OC Richard, I just ordered a pair; should be here for the weekend.
