I will be wearing a USAK casual in Cameron with a day sporran, kilt pin, hose/flash, sgian dubh, and a wool sweater which will cover my mid section so I won't be wearing a kilt belt (which I don't have yet anyway so that doesn't matter). So I guess you could say that I'll be kindof semi-formal. Meaning that I'm wearing a casual kilt with all the fixins. So here's the big question - what footwear do I wear? Should I wear a formal or dress style shoe? Can I wear sneakers? The whole outfit looks great and I don't want to ruin it buy wearing the wrong shoes.

Before you respond with "wear whatever is most comfortable" you should know that I will be most comfortable in whatever is appropriate and looks proper. I could walk around all day in dress shoes or sneakers and be just as comfortable either way.

Any/all help is appreciated.
A basic rule of thumb, even for casual, is that your leathers should match in color. If you are wearing a brown leather sporran, then so should your kilt belt and shoes.
