What to wear under the kilt

Thanks for the advice, folks!

My greatest fear is to end up in the "Kilt Do's and Don'ts" thread as a "Don't"!

I love this pic!
I have a slightly larger close-up that I use on a website I'm slowly putting together:

Iain,
Have you seen the Casual pics page? This should help you decide what looks good to you.

I usually wear wool socks and hiking boots. Comfy, yet tasteful.

As many have said previously, wear what you feel will be most comfortable in. If your feet aren't happy, you won't be happy.

Thanks! I had not been aware of that. I saw lots of lads (and a few lasses) in hiking boots, and it seemed to me that in all but a very very few the hose were "relaxed."

But they all looked fine, so I'm going to at least take my flashes along ...

Thanks for all the helpful advice!
