And what a great way to set a new silly-looking fashion! Like Todd said, puttees really have no place outside of military re-enacting. If you are concerned about bugs, sand, stickers, etc. you have two, far more practical, choices:

CHOICE # 1: Don't go out in the wilds, stay on the sidewalks, etc.

CHOICE # 2: Get a good pair of leggings from any outdoor supplier as these are vastly superior to puttees in field conditions.

If you want coloured puttees, they are available from most equestrian shops, and are sold as leg wraps for horses. I've used these in a pinch when I had to ride, but didn't have my boots with me. They work quite well. But would I recommend them for wear with the kilt?

NO WAY!
