You have to find the calf length Converse.

Please tell me that you are kidding about these....

I agree, tennis/running shoes and a tartan kilt just don't work. If you have need to wear tennis shoes, grap you <insert american kilt maker's name here > kilt and go with it.

Tartan kilts work best with ghillies, boots, or in some cases some types of leather sandles without hose. Not much else that I have seen does the kilt justice.

I often wear my kilt (tartan that is) with my all black Converse ALl-Star. I wear with the hose up or down, or with low cut socks in the summer, and it doesnt look like formal attire, but I get nothing but compliments.

All-black Chuck Taylors I can see happening. I have a pair myself, but opted for the boots. I should clarify my definition of tennis shoes, being the traditional nike/new balance/etc. running shoes.

regardless, as always, it's your kilt, and your feet. Wear what you will.

...and leopard print ANYTHING shouldn't be even associated with a tartan kilt, unless it is the hide of a leopard you killed yourself.

Ive never worn tennis shoes with the kilt yet ,but now that my Freedom kilt is on its way, I might do it. In that case, I will wear the really low cut or ankle length socks. You are still wearing socks, but they will not distract from the kilt nor from the shoes.

I wear a basic pair of ankle sox. Thats what I'm wearing right now,along with a Blackwatch Stillwater and Aloha shirt. Ah, the joy of working at home!

I've worn my Adidas Sambas with my MacQueen tartan USAKilt and German National football jersey and it looks just fine.

FTR, I wore plain old Hanes white atheltic socks, rolled down a bit.

[Kilted Taper]

I'll add my vote to the ankle socks. If I'm not wearing boots or sandles, low top tennies get the ankle socks.

Contrary to what most people here have said, unless I'm dressing up I always wear running shoes with my kilts (uh-oh, kilts-plural, see other thread). In the winter, I wear kilt hose, but in the summertime I wear low socks, usually SmartWool mini or micro crew height, so they don't really show at all over the tops of the shoes.

I can't actually find any photos right now of myself sporting the sneakers without gaiters (hiking-mode), but I've never had anyone tell me I shouldn't be wearing it that way.
