    I have some lightweight hiking shoes I've been wearing with my kilts when dressed casually. A while back my wife informed me, in no uncertain terms, that the shoes I had just didn't look right. She said they didn't have enough "heft" to balance the look of the kilt and made it look more like a costume than a real garment. I found a pair of black Rockport hiking boots to balance the look and these have been blessed by my personal fashion expert.

    YMMV
