Arrowgcow, I felt the same way about tennis shoes with kilts, which really cramps the choices in the hot weather of the canyonlands of Arizona and Utah.

Then saw Daneel's post about a great day in Edinburgh on the General Kilt Talk forum and checked his gallery to see the new TFCK.

Danged if he isn't wearing his kilt sox with tennis shoes, but sort of half way rumpled down his thigh. If you to to the TFCK website you'll see some of their pics of the same look, wearing kilt sox with low cut shoes and tennis shoes (sneakers, whatever), but the kilt sox are worn rumpled about halfway down instead of all the way down like with boots or pulled all the way up like with dress shoes.

I think the "look" is nicer with "fake" kilt sox like soccer sox, more athletic, in keeping with the tennis shoes.

Point is, now there's a way to wear sneakers with kilts and have it look half way decent...at least in my eyes, Daneel's eyes, and the folks at TFCK's eyes.
