The shoes are good with a UK. Kilt hose without flashes up may work if you need them for warmth. Soccer socks will work too. The flashes suggest a dressier look to me. If you need the garters to keep the socks up you can wear them without the flashes and when you turn the hose tops over it will hide the garters. If you don't need them for warmth go for the shorter socks or push them down.
