Casual shoes with a utilikilt

[yoippari]

Not a newbie, or even much of a lurker, but I pop in from time to time with a question.

*pop*

Boots seem to be the standard with a utilikilt, and ghilli brogues with pulled up hose with any kind of dress getup. But what about a utilikilt when you don't want boots? I'm not a sandal person and my brown Clarks seem out of place below a black mocker. Would these work?

and if so with what socks? hose pulled up? short socks? I have a bunch of black wool dress socks both crew and knee length.

BTW this is casual like t-shirt casual, maybe a button up shirt.

I'm asking because I did a search for sneakers and it seems to me that when anyone here says sneakers they are talking about tennis shoes or running shoe type of sneakers. I'm curious what the forum's opinion is on a nicer pair of basically converse, with out the annoying white cap and sole.
