    Congrats on the singing!

    I noticed the Vibram Five Fingers. I too wear foot shape footwear, and wanted to point out Lems to you if you haven't heard of them. I have a pair of Boulder Boots that look pretty good with my kilt when worn casually, and I'm looking into ta pair of Nine2Fives for dressier occasions. I think the Nine2Fives would look great with that outfit!

    I hadn't heard of them

    I'll give them a look as I wear them alot but when I am on stage (or actually now when I was on stage) I had to wear
    regular shoes and find them very uncomfortable.
    I have hiked in all types of terrain with them but a boulder boot might be useful.
    Years ago I was hiking Cascade creek pond trail in yellowstone and hiked into a group of 5 men and 4 women who had been fishing there and we talked for a few minutes. I had stopped them to show them a huge fresh grizzly bear print I had just found. One of the women was looking at me and then exclaimed "oh look at his shoes. They are adorable." Her boy friend said "So like a women. He's wearing a kilt and she notices his shoes"

    I measure a 5E width, and went years without realizing it. The first time I tried on a pair of foot-shape running shoes I felt so much relief! Now anytime someone's wearing Vibrams, Altras, Lems, or another foot-shape shoe I have to comment, it's like a little club (similar to Kilt wearers).

    The Boulder Boot is great. Highly recommended, especially if you've got rainy winters.

    I know this is completely off topic, but Vibram FiveFingers are amazing. I like to wear them running, but also sometimes when walking, even when kilted. Mine don't really go with my kilts, but they are so incredibly comfortable.

    I haven't actually tried VFFs, but I do enjoy foot shape shoes. VFFs sure have a cult-like following, I'll have to try them eventually.
