Hey Ladies, what shoes? Casual occasion.

I like that this post is for the women of X-marks.

I prefer something feminine or comfortable, preferably both.
I really like these five-fingered shoes. They're comfortable and worth the funny look to me:

Here are some other choices that have been successful for scottish events:

I like something I can move in. Best wishes!

While walking one of our cliff trails about a year or so ago, I met a gentleman who was wearing a pair of the Vibram Five Fingers. He said it was like walking barefoot and they were the most comfortable footwear he had ever worn.

I must admit they do cause one to have a funny smile the first time you see them.

Sweet! Good choice.

Works for me.

I've been wearing these for over three years, and for the last three months or so, I've hardly worn enything else.

I used to say that these should only be worn wile kilted when the public at large won't see you. Now, however, I have a different take on it. When it's super hot (or I'm super tired), I WILL wear them while kilted, so long as I'm at a Scottish event.

But yes, if they're right for you (possibly a big if), you'll probably find that they're your all-time favorite footwear.

I thought about trying a pair, unfortunately I wear a 15D which is a bit larger than Vibram Five Fingers manufactures.

Have you checked on them lately? They've been greatly expanding their offerings in the last year or so. Also, they size in a rather unconventional way- based on a direct measurement of your foot (I'm certain you already know that, though). At any rate, it's a terrible shame if they don't make Vibrams in your size.

But then again, unless you're already a fairly dedicated barefoot walker, they may well not be your cup of tea.

My girlfriend (Sorcha) was quite the barefoot walker, and even she went through a fairly long "getting used to" period.

At any rate, keep an eye on their site. They may start offering shoes in your size any time!
