Aye Colin,

It was tough for me too...but I just did it and soon grew to love the freedom and comfort. I like what UK says, "Form Follows Function."

If its hot, then barefoot or sandals are the ticket.

Was even harder to wear my Z Coils with kilts...but just did it, now don't think anything of it. Its really weird when someone starts to say something and I gear up for a kilt question and they ask about my Z Coil shoes (if you're scratching your head folks www.zcoil.com ).

Now, I'm working on a way to wear moccasins with my kilts...only pair I have are turquoise Hopi ones and about the only kilt that goes with turqouise is my white UK workman's...

Gotta explore the fringes. How we gonna know what's "too far" over the line if we don't first find the line by crossing it?
