No problem when I first started looking for ghillie brogues, the woman who owned the store I frequented said that foot wear was one place the kilt was pretty open. In fact, she specifically mentioned that boots were OK. Actual words were "most people your age wear boots".

I've seen loads of people wearing kilts with books in Scotland.

So, I have been wearing the kilt for 24 years, but only recently started wearing ghillie brogues. Normally, I wore thick shoes or boots.

Now, Sandals cause me a bit of a problem.
