Casual shoes with a kilt?

**thoth51** · 6th June 08, 06:16 PM

I've wanted a pair of these for a while now, even before I took up the kilt. I wonder how they'll look with my new woodlands camo?

I don't even know what to say except that they remind me of monkey feet. Banana!

Wow, those are interesting! At first look I thought they were a bit weird, but after going to the site, I'm kind of thinking about them... they might be nice for kayaking and around the house, maybe even around town during the summer. Good find!

They just make so much more sense than "typical" shoes. Just like kilts make more sense than pants

A lot of good advise, now I'll throw two cents in. I have several pair of hiking a Harley boots that fit the descriptions already given. But my favorite casual day footwear: Highland boots from Celtic Croft. Look at page 29 in the new Spring/Summer catalog. I have the side lace. Goes well with the brown belt and sporran. (I rarely wear black during the day, unless it's a dress up thing.) The other good thing about these boots, you don't have to wear special socks. Just grab a pair of white athletic sock you already have. No ones going to see them. I get as many complements on the boots as I do the kilt.

I wear hiking boots, or combat boots, but also full brogues, because in Austria you can get it very cheap, if you have some luck. Sometimes i get them for 30 $.

I have a pair of the fivefinger classics (I got them before they had any other style or i would have the pair that you linked!). VERY comfy, I will take a pic with my kilt on if you like...... It is a tank though, so a bit dubious about how it will look

I've seen pictures of runners wearing them, and I must confess it takes a lot of getting used to visually. It looks as if they're walking around with painted feet. Maybe we should petition the company to make them in beige, so we can go for the 'Hobbit' look.

I wear hiking boots or loafers usually. Almost any kind of shoe looks good with a kilt.

chuck taylors look good with em, especially if they're all black.

Oh my giddy aunt , I nearly fell off my chair laughing at these monkey feet.You couldn't even pay me to wear those with my kilt.
But I can see no reason why crocs or sandals can't be worn.
Personally I wear walking and hiking boots for casual wear and doc marten shoes for formal occasions.These can be jazzed up with removeable flaps, like the golfers wear on top of their shoes.
