Casual shoes with a kilt?

[michaelbeeman]

Our own Panache started a thread about casual kilted attire, here: http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/x...x.html?t=22431.
I've garnered a few tips from it, myself!

You have such a huge choice of footwear in the USA.

When I make it over the Pond I will have to bring something neet back to France.

I found some lightweight combat boots at an Army and Navy store that are great during the summer..and they were cheap!

I regularly wear Doc Martens, T.U.K. creepers, or Adidas with a kilt. I always wear hose with the boots and regular socks with the Adidas, and I've gone both ways with the creepers.

Alot of people here will say wear whats comfortable on tour feet but IMO I wear boots or running shoes.

I often wear casual, everyday shoes with kilt stockings and flashes when I'm kilted (I wear tanks). I've been kilted for a number of years and always buy shoes sized to fit over kilt stockings, that way I can use the same shoes kilted or otherwise. Laced or loafers, black or brown, I think they look just fine. Truth be known, I don't even own brogues. I think they are too expensive for the limited use I would put them to. My philosophy is that my kilts are part of my wardrobe so I buy things that I can use whether kilted or not, that includes casual shoes, dress shoes, sandals, and hiking boots.

I wear brown hiking boots with my other brown leathers (sporran and belts) and I also have a pair of black Harley-Davidson riding boots for the other black leathers.

A common misconception with kilts is that you have to wear this or have to wear that in this way. Well, the kilt is about comfort and freedom - so you are free to wear what is comfortable for you!

My personal taste is to wear boots, whether they be hiking, combat, motorcycle, or otherwise. I think this is because of the fact that they go up the ankle a bit, which works well with socks. If not wearing socks, I think sandals will work just fine, especially athletic sandals.

I wear hiking shoes with my AKs and I don't tuck the t-shirt in either when I'm just kicking around.

Leather Asolo hiking boots are my main choice for casual wear. Like one of the earlier posters alluded to, to me a tennis shoe just does not balance out the sturdiness of the kilt. But, just my 2 cents worth.
