I wear hiking boots about 99% of the time. I walk everywhere on campus, and have a job where I'm standing and walking all day, so I like/need some good footwear. When dressing up, I'll wear plain black dress shoes.

On a related note, has anyone ever seen, or have an opinion on, the wearing of spats with a kilt? I don't mean the tall gaiters like pipers or the regiments wear, but dress spats of the 1920s, like these. I think it would possinly look a little odd, but I haven't tried mine with my kilt yet.[/url]
