Hose and socks and shoe sizes

[Jack Daw]

Hi peoples. Sorry for my absence of late. I am busy trying to find work and organise my weddings.I just have a quick question. I am about to buy my shoes for the wedding but just had a question. I have found that I am a size UK 8.5 with business socks on but I didn't have a pair of hose on my when I tried the shoes. They fit snug and perfect with socks but I imagine too tight with hose.

My question is how do you balance your shoes to be both business and kilt shoes?

Cheers

Frankly, I don't. For the equivalent of a semi-semi-formal thing, like a wedding, I wear ghillie brogues. If I'm dressing casual kilt with a tie and jacket, then I don't wear the brogues or oxfords that I wear for the office with my kilt - I have sketchers and Rockports for the kilt, then. But, not everone does what I do.

Are these weddings to the same bride or different ones? (Don't get caught.)
