Just remarks & possible comments if you gents don't mind...

I like to wear my black high-top work boots to the Highland Games. I just don't seem to fit in with the look of the brouges, although if I am at a dinner or Kirkin' or similar, I wear black dress shoes. I am just a jeans, t-shirt & boots, blue-collar type of guy, always have been.

I am 48, but feel a member of the younger set when in the company of many of my friends at these festivals.

Am thinking of buying a dedicated pair of nice work boots, as I am forever trying to put a shine on my everday scuffed-up pair for the games. I do always wear the hose, sgian dubh, flashes, sporran, Jacobite shirt etc. Oh yeah, & of course my kilt!!!

Anyone else prefer to wear boots as I do ??
