With the plethora of information on the subject of Highland/Scottish attire it seems an odd point to go rogue on if you are otherwise making a decent attempt at accuracy.
uhm terry dresbach already explained that these are authentically made french military boots. and that they would fit with the backstory.
so maybe you should have read some more of the discussion before barging in.
