I would think about coordinating the boots with the rest of the outfit rather than the tartan. That aside, I think I like the black better.

I agree with Xman

I don't mean to give offence, but why are you planning to wear moccasins like this with the kilt? Wouldn't shoes be a much better choice?

[MacMillan of Rathdown]

Thom, I really don't think it matters all that much, since boots of that type (or any type, really) were never worn with the kilt in Scotland. That said, I suspect the brown boots would probably look a bit better, and would likely be a tad more versatile.

Never say never. This pic was taken at Culloden. Shows the black boots with a different tartan, but may give you an idea of the look.



I'm with XMan too. Match the moccasin leather to the rest of your turnout rather than the tartan colors.

There's just telling how the tourists will dress, is there?

Traditionally footwear is black.
