    Re: My new official kilt shoe

    I'd love to own a pair to replace my well-worn Vasque Sundowners.

    Too bad I require a 14 A.

    They seem surprisingly heavy and clunky at first; they do in that sense take a little breaking in. As far as fit and comfort on the foot are concerned, though, they're very comfortable right from the get-go and I've done a fair bit of "light hiking" in them.

    Black is so banal. Brown has so much more character and it looks great among crunchy autumn leaves!

    Re: My new official kilt shoe

    Darn my wide feet. The 'ideal' sizing for me (9 1/2-3E) is not available in neither the Gaffney, nor the Hawley. From experience, I need to use thick, cushioned inserts if I go with 10-D Florsheims. Even when wearing kilt hose.

    Yeah, but nothing beats a shiny pair of BLACK leather boots.

    Sounds very nice, beloitpiper.

    Re: My new official kilt shoe

    I like the look too, and have a pair of Rockports that are close to needing replaced. Maybe buy the shoes and a brown sporran finds it's way onto my Christmas list.

    Nick ,

    A bottle of leather dye will make a brown shoe black.

    Re: My new official kilt shoe

    Well you could find yourself in my boat. Just realized they don't even make them in my size (15). Guess I do have a belt sander downstairs, wonder what a 1/4 of an inch off the front of my toes would do as far as walking???
