    Boots for Casual Kilting

    The opportunities for casual kilting are greater than formal kilting. I'm always looking for new accessories or more often than not, shoes or boots to complement casual kilt wearing.

    What boots are you fond of or lusting after these days? Include a pic and tell us why you like them.

    These are my latest objects of desire: Frye Boot's Sid Tall Lace Up.



    I like the slouchy style for wearing with kilts. I'm fond of the dark brown color as I'm on a brown leather kick suddenly.

    I really like how the folded-down shaft echoes a kilt. Since I have big calves, I can't usually wear boots that high up my leg.

    I like the way they show the laces looped around the shaft several times reminiscent of tied ghillie brogue laces.

    Alas, they don't make any of their boots, let alone this one, in any size above Size 13. I'm out of luck, but maybe someone else can enjoy them for me. They are also hellishly expensive at $288 a pair. But I suppose all boots cost a lot.

    What non-traditional boots or shoes currently tickle the cockles of your kilt-wearin' heart?

    These are what I like. I bought them specifically for casual kilting.



    They are made by Terra in Canada and go to size 14. They also look great with hose and flashes or with hose scrunched down.

    These 6" Georgia Boots are my absolute favorite footwear for casual kilting. They're super comfortable and extremely high quality...

    Pardon the dust. I took these pics at a highland festival.

    I have been a fan of wolverine brand boots ever since 7th grade (way before I discovered how badass kilts are). I wear them almost constantly and each pair lasts me a little over four years.

    I have worn steel toed boots in the past and found that can get really cold in the winter. Personally, I can't see any reason to have steel toed footwear unless you need protection, but they seem to be trendy among some circles as a fashion accessory.

    That's a nice looking pair of boots. I think I might get a pair in the future.
