    custom sneakers and boots??!!

    Looking for casual boots to wear while scrunching down your hose but can't decide on color. Go for brown? Black? Does anybody offer two toned boots?
    Timberland can make semi custom (from a set template) boots for you

    Do you wear Chucks like Derek does with his Welsh cilt? Looking for a new pair but can't decide on a color?
    Let Converse make you a custom colored pair.

    Not sure how useful the links are as accessories as such, but building your own shoes from scratch is a fun way to pass the time online.

    It's funny someone mentioning Chuck Taylors, I have a friend with, and I kid you not, a seemingly tartan pair of converse. I'm not sure which one but it looks a lot like the Black Stewart tartan as seen on the SWK website. I may look into getting a pair if I could find out where they got the shoes.
    And shepherds we shall be, for thee My Lord, for thee.
    Power hath descended forth from thy hand,
    that our feet may swiftly carry out thy command.
    We shall flow a river forth to thee,
    and teeming with souls shall it ever be.

    Are they custom or stock?

    Personally I wouldn't be caught dead in timberlands or chucks with a kilt.

    So, what footwear would you choose for casual wear?

    Fair question. I wear a pair similar to these from Orvis:



    I actually like boots for casual wear with a kilt, i just don't like the "Pimped" work boots from Timberland. Although I have several pairs of other Timberland styles. And no matter how they dress up sneakers I wouldn't wear them with a kilt. Granted I don't wear sneakers much except for working out.
