Ok,I am a traditionalist,so if you are going to wear your new wool kilt, then I think that traditional brogues or short boots would show your calves off to advantage.Of course wear your long boots if you wish,but have a look at the many pictures on this site and I think you will agree that long boots are not quite right.
Oh,and welcome,from Inverness-shire.

Not sure if this is what you mean, but my long boots look quite good with the kilt:

Welcome to the forum.
I think for a first post this is a excellent question.
I think others are right,traditional tank boots or shoes would look best, but those long boots do look great.Do what feels right and look at yourself in a long mirror to see if it looks right.
I have to wonder though how authentic these boots are?

Referring to the picture...
The boots I have are a hand made custom fit in heavy chocolate bullhide leather. Whilst not desperaging the boots shown in the photo, mine are of far higher quality, oh, and lace up the back. Thanks for the tips, mates. Tips on the brouges noted. All of you know how difficult it can be to swallow a whole outfit price, hence my peicing as I go. Of course, I can always wear my combat boots with the kilt.

Hey!! I have a pair of those that I wear on the weekends! Man, those thigs are comfortable!
Hay Birddog- welcome! From another Rocky Mountain kiltie! Yeah, I would say it's perfectly appropriate to wear your boots with your kilt. Why not?
