Re: Modern kilt + creepers. Yay or Nay?
They also remind me of a few very cool punks I knew back in high school who wore them. So much so, I bought a pair of them for my 17 year old son last year.
He's not worn them with a kilt yet, but I do think they would work well with a modern kilt. I am just not sure what kind of hose or sock would work.
I think they would work with a modern kilt as well as many contemporary shoes. I wouldn't wear them because I don't like clunky shoes or thick soles, but they do look soft and comfortable. If you like them, wear them.
I wouldn't expect many of our forum's traditionalists (or even those who do wear modern kilts) who are over 30 to care for this style very much. I'm willing to wager than if I were to run a poll and correlate it to those who like or dislike the style, there would be a definite age schism.
Like I said, creepers are IN right now -- but the average age on fashion sites like Lookbook where this is all the craze is in the late teens, early 20s.
Modern-day creepers are only related to post-WWII desert boots in that they both have crepe soles. But these shoes are definitely much thicker-soled than their predecessors from where they get their namesake.
I haven't decided whether I want a pair like this or no, but I thought I'd throw it out there to see what some folks thought about 'em.
I'll have to vote no. First, because of the very thick soles. My work boots have thinner soles than that! Secondly, I've never been a fan of the monk-strap style shoe. Either lace up or slip on. But then i fall into the "over thirty" category.
I wish I believed in reincarnation. Where's Charles Martel when you need him?
