Kilt hose
Thought I would post this for information, I have particulary large feet and trying to get hose to fit is a nightmare, so I had some hand knitted in undyed Aran wool, these are heavyweight socks primary for outdoor use and I have given them some use since they arrived and the are very comfortable and fit like a glove.
The lady comes highly recommended, she does a light weight dress and a medium weight as well.
Not sure how much use it is for those the other side of the pond due to exchange rates and shipping but for UK members they are well worth a look.
price depends on size and wool etc so you would have to e mail for details.

No... There are glove socks with individual toe fingers like gloves. I doubt there are any kilt hose made that way, but it could happen.
Why you would have individual toe fingers on a sock is none of my business; though, it does make one wonder...
I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

Like I said, it's none of my business... Tabi and a tartan hakama perhaps...
I do know it can be difficult to find the right intersection of color, quality, and price in kilt hose, though.
