Casual shoes with a kilt?

[GreenDragon]

OK. Brogues are far too expensive for me at this time. Usually, I wear a pair of black gym shoes with my kilt with regular black socks.
I wanted to know what casual-type shoes look best with and/or without kilt hose.

Advice?

Hiking boots or work boots work very nicely. I've also seen people wear combat boots. Me personally, I wear my hiking/work boots (Wolverines).

I have some lightweight hiking shoes I've been wearing with my kilts when dressed casually. A while back my wife informed me, in no uncertain terms, that the shoes I had just didn't look right. She said they didn't have enough "heft" to balance the look of the kilt and made it look more like a costume than a real garment. I found a pair of black Rockport hiking boots to balance the look and these have been blessed by my personal fashion expert.

YMMV

Wow, isn't it great when the wife supports you?

In the summer, I typically wear flip-flops or sandals, but in the winter usually I wear hiking boots. Whatever floats you're boat, really.

I have worn black tennis shoes and sandals with mine. And I have to admit have never been confronted by the KILT police yet. Wear what you are comfortable in.

I have some nice black Airwalk skate shoes that look great. I wear them mostly with black hose but they look good with regular black socks too. To complete the casual look I do not tuck in my T-shirt, which is also always black. My kilt is black too... I like black ... a lot!
