Those'd be the footless stockings made by cutting tartan on the bias and seaming it up the back of the calf, with "shoes" made by lacing hide onto the foot. The latter are the ancestor of the modern "ghillie" shoes.

If they're extremely well-tailored, the moggans can stay up without garters. Mine aren't.
