Birddog,

I have knee high Catskill Mountain Mocs that I wear a lot with my kilts and have gotten nothing but compliments. I think the look is good and even though they are "ren faire" style boots, for the money I paid, I don't restrict my wear of them to only the ren faire. To me, they look fine. (I'm wearing them in my avatar picture). The other examples shown I think are fine. Although those New Zealand boots do look awfully toasty for winter. Wonder if I can get those in the budget. Anyway, if you wear like its your regular clothing, no one will think otherwise.
