Non-traditional shoe with hose and flashes

What do you guys think about a shoe like this with hose and flashes...

I'd wear them primarily with my olive drab UK, gray hose, and olive drab flashes (if I can find them)

with a UK, I would wear those shoes with no socks or very short ankle socks.

Kilt hose and flashes need to go with a dressier shoe.

I totally think they'd work. Best way to find is to try it. They're cool shoes regardless.

If it's a style of shoe you feel comfortable w/ I don't see why you couldn't wear it casually. Not a shoe I would ever wear so I can't vouch for it's kiltworthiness. O'Neille

I already own the shoes... they look great with jeans, casual slacks, and the UK, but I haven't worn them with hose and flashes... cuz I don't own any. Just thought I'd see what everyone thought about 'em...

I have to agree.

Track shoes, tennis shoes, sneekers, running shoes, athletic shoes, just do not look right with hose and flashes.... period. It just looks bad.

I like that to wearing track pants with a white shirt, jacket, and tie... it just doesn't go.

Wear the shoes with pushed down athletic socks.

Probably wouldn't look any worse than I do in my avatar. Was wearing an old pair of Asics Gel running shoes. Today, I wore a pair of New Balance 766 running shoes with off-white hose, red flashes, and my Armstrong kilt. Red T-shirt with a yellow Rampant Lion on the front.

Normally, I wear KH and flashes with pretty much every pair of shoes (or boots I have).
