    Ghillie brogues price too good to be true?

    I've never purchased from the ebay seller kilts4less but I'm aware they are well known to other forum members.
    I've seen their exhire offerings on ebay and some appear to be new Pakistani made and not exhire as claimed.
    This would normally make me suspicious of anything else they sell but these Gillie Brogues do appear, at least from the images to be genuine Scottish made shoes at a very cheap price.

    I'm currently wearing a pair of old Thistle branded brogues that could do with being replaced so thinking of ordering a pair from kilts4less.
    The Scot Mackay brand also look really nice but have never heard of that manufacturer before!

    Any advice on the seller or the Scot Mackay brand would be appreciated.

    I would guess that since the website is in the UK, the shoe size may have to be converted for those in the US.

    Ordered the Scot McKay (spey) from kiltsforless for the crazy cheap price of £14.99 which includes free delivery!
    If they arrive as advertised which is new and boxed then a bargain.
    I have a wedding in 3 weeks and I'll will be the only one wearing the kilt so can give the shoes a test drive....

    If I get a few years out of them it's the best £14.99 I've ever spent.
