Found; hose for tall guys!
At 6'6", size 14-15 feet, and a 38" inseam, it has been mighty hard to find kilt hose to fit me. I have ordered from an EBay vendor, WB socks I think it's called, but they are a little thin and certainly not a big color selection. I really wanted a pair of Navy Blue, and I found them on this webpage; http://www.college-of-piping.co.uk/a...Kilt_Hose.html
They came in today's mail and I am impressed. Well made, thick, and best of all, they come up so far I have to fold them over twice!
So if you're a bit more vertical than the norm, you might want to check them out.

Nope, we are not alone. I'm 6'5" with 36" inseam (don't have a problem with an extra large shoe, just need extra, extra, extra, extra, extra wide.)
Love those piper hose with the popcorn top, they are really long and I can still fold them over twice.
Cheers to all vertically challenged folks,

6'5" here also. Found the same site a couple months ago and really want some of their superior hose, when the finances are right. Great prices, too, as long as transatlantic shipping doesn't eat up the savings. Already have several pairs of pipers hose I bought from another US site a few months ago before their prices went up.

I'm 6'3" and wear a 15D shoe. Trying to find quality shoes and socks at a reasonable price can be a challenge to say the least.

Thanks! I too am 195cm (6'-4 1/2), and while my shoe size is "only" a twelve, it is a EEE foot with a AA heel!

AT 6'-3" and a 14 shoe. I've ruined a couple of pair of hose by pulling the heel out.
Thanks for the info.
