    When I'm wearing boots, I scrunch down my hose. When I'm wearing ghillie (or for others, buckle) brogues, I wear my hose all the way up. But the hose that I am actually wearing with my boots is different than with my brogues. I wouldn't wear nice, hand-knit kilt hose with boots, and I don't wear cheap, thin hose with my brogues..

    But that's just me, I like my dress hose thick and hand-knit.

    I don't like my hose/socks doing anything but properly fitting on my legs. I wear combat boots at times and always have my hose high and tight. I know some wear theirs "scrunched" down on their boots and it looks fine.

    I second that notion!
    Not a fan of the scrunch down.
