I'm new to this whole kilt deal. Though my family emigrated from Scotland in the early 1800's nobody "here" gave two hoots about traditions. I've been interested in kilts for pretty much all of my life and finally screwed up the courage to try one. My question is regarding a specific challenge with socks and shoes. Skiing ruined my knees so I wear knee braces most of the time. They look pretty crappy with std kilt hose. I'm experimenting with a pair of overknee flat soled boots to hide the braces, but from what I can find there is NO precedent for such an arrangement. I'm not ready to venture out in public kilted yet as I don't know if my neighbors could handle it. Anyhow, the boots do the trick for covering the braces but I don't know if I'm committing the ultimate in Kilt defamation by exposing the world to this Kilt fashion experiment....
