t_challa, I'd recommend you check around for a shoe shop that offers resoling. A minor change to the sole will make them much safer to wear out and about (and shouldn't effect the comfort once the new soles are broken in). I did this for a couple of pairs for a local theater production and it made all the difference in the world.

Thanks for the tip, but not necessary. As I've said, they're only slippy when the ground is wet. Other than that there is no issue whatsoever. Plus, I wouldn't wear them out when it's wet/raining anyway; due to them being bowling shoes designed for indoor activities, they leak and let in lots of water. Great to wear in the summer though (although if you know anything about British summertime, you'll know that I don't end up wearing that much then either! lol).

I think they would look fine in a bowling alley!

This is the look I chose to go to a party yesterday... casual top, teamed with my Dress Gordon kilt Sorry for the messy background and grainy photo...
Looks pretty traditional to me, casual but traditional.
Incidentally, one of the best pipers I know is an afro-Nova Scotian. He looks great in his kilt and wears it traditionally.
