			Casual shoes with a kilt?
		
			
				
					OK. Brogues are far too expensive for me at this time. Usually, I wear a pair of black gym shoes with my kilt with regular black socks. I wanted to know what casual-type shoes look best with and/or without kilt hose.
 
 Advice?
 
	
	
	
		
		
		
				
				
		
			
				
					Hiking boots or work boots work very nicely.  I've also seen people wear combat boots.  Me personally, I wear my hiking/work boots (Wolverines).
				 
	
	
	
		
		
		
				
				
		
			
				
					I have some lightweight hiking shoes I've been wearing with my kilts when dressed casually. A while back my wife informed me, in no uncertain terms, that the shoes I had just didn't look right. She said they didn't have enough "heft" to balance the look of the kilt and made it look more like a costume than a real garment. I found a pair of black Rockport hiking boots to balance the look and these have been blessed by my personal fashion expert.
 YMMV

					I should note that i've also worn a pair of black combat boots with my kilts, also. Looking for something more casaul.
				 
	
	
	
		
		
		
				
				
		
			
				
					In the summer, I typically wear flip-flops or sandals, but in the winter usually I wear hiking boots. Whatever floats you're boat, really.
				 
	
	
	
		
		
		
				
				
		
			
				
					Chuck Taylor high tops, dock siders "grandpa shoes," whatevers there man.
				 
	
	
	
		
		
		
				
				
		
			
				
					I wear black combat boots and scrunched down gray hiking socks with my UKs.
				 
	
	
	
		
		
		
				
				
		
			
				
					I have worn black tennis shoes and sandals with mine. And I have to admit have never been confronted by the KILT police yet. Wear what you are comfortable in.
				 
	
	
	
		
		
		
				
				
		
			
				
					I have some nice black Airwalk skate shoes that look great. I wear them mostly with black hose but they look good with regular black socks too. To complete the casual look I do not tuck in my T-shirt, which is also always black. My kilt is black too... I like black ... a lot!
