shoes to wear

[Southern Breeze]

First off, welcome aboard. What to wear depends on the look your after, casual, formal etc.Some good advice would be to go through the photo section and see whats being worn.
Don't panic, the worlds kilt experts are here at X-Marks.

I usually wear my Doc Marten brogues.

Then again, I wore them all the time before I wore kilts, so nothing's changed.

Since I'm usally hiking on the weekend its Vasque or Bates boots. Comfort above all. I have declined to try my cowboy boots and spurs with the kilt.

Cowboy boots are probably one of the more humorous choices.

OK Ham, Let's see a picture of a "Kilt in Cowboy boots". If anyone could pull it off it would be you! ;)

Ok, you asked for it! I shot this pic at the 2005 Canmore HG. :mrgreen:

That doesn't make it right!

It is generally necessary for riding, but it does look a bit strange!


High moc/boots look better!

As for what I wear with my kilts...unless I'm dressing up for a special occasion I wear these, found at Payless Shoes for under $50. Cdn.


For dressier occasions I wear a pair of black slip-on dress shoes.

I tend to wear either a pair of black loafers or a pair of black wingtips with my kilts. I'm usually rather dressy anyway so that usually looks great. I have to admit that I've always been tempted to get a pair of trooper boots, but I don't know how it would look with a kilt.

Every year at the LONGS PEAK SCOTTISH/IRISH HIGHLAND FESTIVAL in Estes Park, CO, Alex Beaton can be found wearing western boots with his kilt, on stage. Kilt hose sagging.

I have experimented with a wide vareity of shoes and I like Doc Martens'. I had never considered owning Doc's until my g/f started objecting to my combat boots, etc.. She picked out some GBX monk-strap shoes that I would have never even looked at previously. I wore them for a while and discovered they were basically Doc Martens' knock-offs. So, I started watching eBay and picked up several new and like-new pairs in just a few weeks at a fraction of retail.

Doc Marten makes a wide variety of styles, so you may find something you like. Rememeber the UK sizes are off by one size (a UK 10 is a US 11).

Good luck!
