Greetings to all,

I was wondering what advice I could get concerning comfortable footwear and hose.

I'm presently wearing Gaelic Themes kilt hose; because, it was all I could find in charcoal (what my pipe band wears). Unfortunately, for me and the kilt hose, I have sprinter's/runner's calves, so the hose tend to be very tight on my legs. I am wondering if there are any affordable kilt hose in this color from another manufacturer.

I also get a bit pinched by my piper brogues. The are tolerable for the first couple of hours, but then they really start to make me uncomfortable. Again, these are also Gaelic Themes merchandise. I'm not trashing this brand, but I am looking for something that fits me a bit better. I need a pair of brogues that look sharp, but will allow me to stand for 10-16hrs when needed.

Any help is appreciated.
