I agree, save the ghillies' for the formal stuff. For day wear, ( nice shirt, sweater etc.) I wear a couple of the leather shoes from Keen, they look good and are very comfy As for the naggly people don't sweat it. Tell your self or them, Here I am in a kilt ready for the snappy remarks and thats the best you could come up with? Then walk away chuckling to your self, this works wonders for me. Oh, congats on the day out!
