I have been wearing WPG khaki Hose Tops with Flashes and sandals to some satisfaction. I wear sandals most all year round provided it is not snowing and I'm in Northern CA.

I trained in Japan and my feet really toughened up I have what the other monks called “tough feet for a foreigner”. Interesting I had weak hands they got frostbitten quite a bit, but I digress.

Thus far I have only been wearing the Khaki HTs but may find myself some inexpensive wool military diced HTs in my stocking this Christmas. I realize sandals are not everyone’s cup of tea but it is extremely helpful in my situation where I am barefoot inside the building of my community and my own place. I have it deeply ingrained not to wear shock/hose on the floor because it eats socks. Mix that with no shoes indoors another deeply ingrained notion leaves two options, take off/on socks/hose when in and outing, or get some house shoes. I don’t dig on the later.

So does anyone have experience wearing sandals with the Kilt?
And how about Hose Tops and Sandals?

I’ll drop a picture from Early in the Fall, I put the sandals on for the picture...

This pushes some of the boundaries of tradition but we are part of a living tradition and there are innovations that naturally occur. At least for me wearing the kilt is not a matter of uniform or costume but part of the living Highland tradition in this case in the Diaspora.

Ideas?
Photos?

Peace,
