Kilt socks scrunched down or?

[artificer]

I just push mine down but make sure each leg is pushed down the same. They tend to fold themselves down in a somewhat orderly fashion above my boot. I use boot socks rather than kilt hose. Boot socks (Gold Toe brand) have less bulk then wool kilt hose. They have a higher cotton content so I can machine wash/dry them rather than having to worry about ruining a pair of expensive wool kilt hose.

*** for everything Mike said,
ESPECIALLY on the boot socks vs kilt hose when scrunching. I like Carhart's or Cabelas work/hunting socks for this purpose. They tend to have a padded instep for lots of walking, some wick away moisture, and none have the bulk of woolen kilt hose.

I'd like to add that I, personally, don't like scrunched hose and low shoes like brogues. If I'm scrunching, it's with boots (I prefer 8-eye Doc Martens).

As much as it pains me to disagree with Jock Scot (whose opinion I respect greatly), while scrunched hose may be a might untidy, Scotland doesn't usually hit +90*f with >75% humidity either. In this case I look to the Regiments overseas actions and follow their lead of scrunchies and boots. If it was good enough for them, it works for me.
