Toe Shoes & Kilt?

**Burly Brute** · 4th February 11, 12:23 AM

Would it be too casual to go kilted while wearing my vibrams?

Thanks!

Slainte,

EDIT: It would be mostly for camping.

Well...I wouldn't. I mean at all. I've seen these things and even tried some on. Not for me at all. Those actually match some work gloves that I have in my truck right now. I guess I just don't see the appeal.

In all seriousness, I'd stick with hiking boots when kilted.

I must say, your subject line had me scratching my head...

I didn't think Highland dancers went on pointe!!! However in all seriousness, on any given day, I will wear whatever doesn't make my feet hurt. Sometimes I ask Hamish just to avert his gaze, because I know it will be painful for him.

P.S. When you say "Vibram" my snow boots come to mind, so I'm glad you included the picture.

Since my daughter has danced ballet for the past 18 years or so, that is what first came to my mind also. I could just imagine her en pointe wearing a kilt.

Actually, there was a thread, not too long ago, with a kilted ballet dancer, if I remember correctly.
* Not saying he was wearing point shoes, though.

Here's the link.

You can wear whatever you want, but I can't imagine it looking good. If you are camping and there are no pretty ladies around then go for it.

Now i do own a couple of pairs, i dont mix them in with my kilt and if you think the toe shoe name threw you just a bit imagine what you would have thought if the OP had used their actual names... Vibram Five Fingers & Kilt?

Why not?

I would lean towards "If that footwear would be appropriate to the setting, then so would a kilt". I wear a kilt hiking, shopping, to work in a government social service agency, out to dinner, etc. For me, the kilt is the constant. It's the accessories (jacket type, sporran type, neck wear) that change to match the setting.
