I have a pair. They're my brown dressy shoes. They look good, they're comfortable to wear all day, and I like them. But the right shoe???

It eats kilt hose.

Yup, at the end of the day (like yesterday) even though I'd been sitting nearly all day, there's this one place where the sock is almost completely worn through.

There's no abrasion on my foot, like I said, the shoes are totally comfortable. This is the second pair of socks these shoes have eaten. In fact, since this particular pair of socks/shoes, combined with my brown sporran and brown kilt belt, laid on to my Weathered MacNaughton kilt looks pretty good, I like to wear it. LAST time, I had the socks on the other feet. I darned the hole in that sock.. Now I have ANOTHER one to darn.

Grrrr. *&^&%$)($#@

But I'm not tossing a $80 pair of shoes that is incredibly comfortable.
