    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! ;)

    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.

    Mostly with my kilts I wear my Doc Martens I have a huge selection of Docs to choose from, with the casual poly/Cotton kilts that I make I wear my Airwalks or Converse.
    When I dress up I have my dress shoes. Just recently I purchased I nice pair if Geronimoe( hope thats how you spell it ) boots that slip on .I look at where I'm going and coordinated which kilt, sporran, belt, hose, and shoes to wear. Sounds a little high maintanence. But I love it.

    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!
