Boots .. continued

[bear]

I have never ever been bothered at all about what to wear when it comes to my jeans/pullovers/trainers or cords/sweatshirts/boots, colour co-ordination and for that matter, even how I look in them. I'll just chuck it all on and go out. I still do it today. However its a totally different matter when wearing my Cilt. Guess all you guys know what I mean.

I am generally that way, even in kilts. I know what looks good/bad and might choose a colour of sock depending on the kilt I'm wearing but I don't seem to care as much as most of you. I did for a while, then I got over it.

I like the white runners, but I'd push the socks down, unless it was very cold. The darkest runners look most like what a lot of us wear; work/hiking boots. But I think we are choosing what looks best based on what we are used to, instead of taking a hard look and viewing the runners as an alternate style that works.
It's always so hard to get over what we're used to!

Derek, of the three, if you're going to do off-white hose, the white shoes look best. But, my personal preferences are for dark colored boots, when I'm wearing something that's taller than the bottoms of my ankles. So, I'd switch to either black or gray hose. Another option is the olive green hose that's in the Sock Company Country catalog... Would also make your flashes show up better...
