If the Shoe Fits
Over the many years we have been in business finding quality product should have been easy. Just buy everything from Scotland, and that is all you need to do. Well , I wish it was that easy. From our main page of our web site many of you are aware that, just because it is sold in Scotland, does not mean that it was made there. Much of Princess Street and the Royal Mile is full of merchandise that is knocked off in Pakistan. There are many manufacturers in Pakistan and everything made in Scotland has been ripped off by somebody in Pakistan. Now they have every right to make products there, and retailers in Scotland have the right to sell them. As long as they honestly present them as a product that was not made in Scotland. But that is not always the case and in fact we have received product from a distributor that was made in Pakistan , but promoted as made in Scotland. That said one of my biggest disappointments has been the shoes worn with a kilt , ghillie brogues. There are no shoes actually made in Scotland. The shoe business left there years ago. There is one manufacture left in England that produces a high quality ghillie brogue. The retail is near three-hundred dollars and that scares most customers away. So most ghillie brogues are made in Brazil , China, or some other third world country. The majority are nothing more than a poor quality novelty shoe and I was very hesitant in promoting the shoes. That has all changed with our new shoe company. Made in North America, these are a top of the line quality shoe and I could not be more pleased. Take a look at these new shoes as well as the videos for them. It only took thirteen years to get to this point.
