Boots + Kilt Hose + Garter Flashes + Sgian Dubh = Oh Dear!

I think temperature has a lot more to do with it than taste.

Northern clime kilties relocated to the desert heat would change their minds about scrunch down hose in a hurry. Probably go to (gasp!) sandals out of practicality.

Taking care of yourself in the heat is more important than fashion or style.

Aye Ron
You may have a point there, however we do get up over 100 degrees F here in the summer and I still wear my hose up, when I wear hose, there is a shot of me at Fergus two years ago in sandals it was just that hot.

Exactly, and here in Florida we have lots of humidity. I wear sandals with my kilt often because of this. Here's an example from last August (the afternoon started out hot then after leaving the NWC meeting it was raining):



I own a pair of boots myself, but have felt the pair I own doesn't look good with a kilt at all. At least while I'm in the kilt as well. ;) I don't wear them very often and had originally purchased them for a Halloween costume because I thought they were kind of "costume like."

I haven't owned a pair of hiking boots in a while, IMHO I do like that look with the hose scrunched down. Lately, I prefer to wear a lighter shoe when I go for a hike.
