The Chuck Taylor... Brogue?

[Cygnus]

While I am a fan of a good pair of Chuck Taylor All Stars and other Converse shoes, I can't say I feel they go well with a kilt.

Though Converse seems to be working to make them a better match:

Living where I do, I have seen a good many Chuck T's paired more with modern kilts (Utilikilts in particular), and even a few with tartan kilts.

Those really aren't a bad looking shoe (IMO). It wouldn't surprise me to see someone pair them with a kilt soon

Can you get them with brown laces?

I think they'd look better with a sole that wasn't white.

BTW: They're not Chuck Taylors, they're Jack Purcells (yes, I am THAT guy. )

While I am usually very open minded those are just not my cup of tea. ith:

Yes indeed, and I changed that in the first post.

And I think with a sole in anything but white it would lose the iconic Converse/Jack Purcell look and simply be a generic brogued sneaker (not that there's anything wrong with that).

Well, I think our Welsh XMarker kiltie, Derek pulls them off rather well, IMHO.

I wear red high top chucks with mine. Look fine to me.

You know, I actually don't mind those. I think I could see myself wearing them.

I really quite like them!
