Scottish National Pleated to Stripe
Does anyone have a photo of a Scottish National pleated to the stripe? I'm thinking this may be my next kilt.
Thanks!

Mine's a casual model pleated to the sett...at least you can see what one of the choices is.

Z Coils. Invented for joggers, turned out to have a huge market for folks with foot, heel, ankle, leg, hip, back pain. I love them because they take away my planter pain and reduce neuromas. The spring cushions the impact when walking or running.
Website has the details.
I came to them when living with a lady who's scolieosis (?) wasn't treated as a child. She's a nurse on her feet all day. Docs where she worked wore them so when we were in the big city she tried them and loved them... and encouraged me to try them. They relieved my foot pain immediatly on one side and in a few weeks on another. I've seen them Rx'd for workman's comp.
G Man is another Z Coil fan I believe.
One of the BIG obstacles for me was wearing BOTH Z Coils and a kilt...amazing how many times when I'm kilted someone walks up and never mentions the kilt but wants to know all about the Z Coils.
I now own nine pair, including a workman's boot with an enclosed heel where the spring doesn't show.

Well that's just cool! The only problem I would see is getting rocks of mud stuck in the coil. So an enclosed version would want to be used for inclement weather.
Nine pair? Are you starting to transfer your kilt fasination over to something else? Really nine pair?
My total shoe count only comes to eight:
Formal black slippers
Canvas walking shoes,
Leather walking shoes, black
Leather walking shoes, brown
Crocs x 2
sandals x 2
When they wear out, I either get them re-soled if possible, or throw them away if not.......... Nine pairs of go-go-gadget-go jumping shoes seems like overkill.
I do have a few pairs of boots, but we are talking shoes here.
Was the lady in question related to Imelda Marcos?

I actually, since you are not counting boots, have more kilts than I do shoes (8 kilts and 4 pairs of shoes) That doesn't count my sandals which serve more as a pair of slippers. Of course I do have 3 pairs of hunting boots, two pairs of work style boots, 3 pairs of golf shoes, and two pairs of bowling shoes.

You know Ron, something like that could get you written into a story.
