Blane Ghillies have a cemented leather sole for more formal occasions. These ghillies also have a slightly lower profile than ghillie brogues with a synthetic sole. We have found that the fit of the Blane model is slightly narrower than other brogues; at the same time, the Blane range of ghillies goes the highest, up to a size 17 US.
Features of the Blane Ghillie Brogue:
Full leather Upper
Leather sole*
Calf leather lining to avoid sock staining
Padded top line for heel and ankle protection
Laces with leather tassels
Highest size range
*Size 17 US may come with a synthetic sole of a comparable thickness.
