Boots?

[Bugbear]

In addition to being a piper, I am also a representative for my clan association at highland games. When I do the latter and not the former, I prefer to wear hiking boots with my kilt. Frankly, I think the ghillie brogues are an odd sort of shoe, but I reluctantly wear them for piping cometitions and formal kilt occasions. Don't get me started on those super-formal patent leather "Mary Janes".

I also wear a pair of Medieval Moccasins for Ren Fest. In the Texas Spring, Summer, and Fall heat, it's quite common for the kilted to wear sandals (no hose). Others wear sneakers, even.

Sounds good to me. I do tend to wear sandals with my kilts a lot. I like those sandals that strap around the ankle, but what ever goes with what I'm wearing. I do have a pare of dress slides or sandals that I have even worn with hose... There closed toe slides with no back around the heel of your foot, and have openings along the sides. That's kind of hard to explain, but everybody thoght it looked ok.
I'll also add that I don't really always fit in to most of the way these guys wear their kilts. I'm usually quite casually dressed.
