    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.
