I have the same problem with standard kilt hose; it's just too long in the shank for my foot size. I wear my band piper's hose rolled over twice, with the heel in my arch! I have to get my regular kilt hose custom made so I only have to roll it over once.
That said, I'm 6'1" and the 24" drop off-the-peg kilt fits perfectly.
Call me "David Short-Shank"!
