    They arrived yesterday and they are superb!!! The fit with thinner dress socks is just a touch roomy width wise, but the length is great. I tried them on wearing boot/hiking socks and they fit absolutely perfect...so I am presuming they will fit perfect with kilt hose. I wore them to work/school today and they are already broken in. I pulled a pair of thin insoles out of another pair of shoes and slipped them in...and that seemed to take up the little play that I felt with thin socks.

    I know, I know...pics or it didn't happen...give me a few days. Had a project due today and then had to take my wife for her 6week post-op appointment...so things are a bit hectic. Maybe they'll do an appearance with a kilt tomorrow!

    Congratulations. Those shoes will give you many years (decades) of service. Look forward to seeing the photos.
