Do you think these shoes would suit a kilt outfit?

I found these shoes:

while searching the web, and thought they'd suit a tweedy, hillwalking sort of a kilt outfit. What do other people think?

I think they would these are like Ghillie Stalking shoes.

They look very nice, but I don't think I'd pay 135 pounds ($192) for them. I'd be interested in trying them on, though. I've never had custom-made shoes.

For my current financial situation, the price is a bit much. In the distant past I have worn hand-made, custom fitted (a cast was made of my feet, then the last was carved using the casts as a pattern) by a Mexican bootmaker. They were wonderful! I haven't had a pair of shoes fit properly since he died some 40+ years ago. If you can afford the tarrif, then I say, go for it. They would look great with a kilt!

Ghillie Stalking shoes eh? That's a new one on me~ any pics of those?

I think they will work just fine. They really have a pretty nice selection of other shoes as well. Thanks for the link!

That style is very suitable for wearing with the kilt and traditional. Hoggs of Fife,Scotland also make shoes of that style with commando soles. I wear a pair made by Lobbs on the moor regularly early in the shooting season.

I think they would be suitable. They evoke images of a country gentleman's attire.

I think Jamie is going to order a pair for his walking outfit.

I like them, I think however the price makes hillwalking in them prohibitive, but for the look they are great.
