    I have to side with the no tennis shoe crowd. I haven't worn a pair of tennies since I started wearing kilts. If I'm casual it is usually hiking boots, but on occasion I will wear sandals (no socks - ever).

    I'm sure hiking boots would look good with a kilt, but I don't own a pair, and don't plan on purchasing any just to wear with the kilt.

    It's all about being comfortable - why shouldn't you wear sneakers with the kilt? It doesn't look "proper?" I don't think it looks any stranger than wearing boots with kilt hose pushed/rolled down.

    If I was going to be hiking out in the boonies I also am going to go for comfort. Who is going to care? If I'm real casual in town...I have high top work boots. If I don't make the best dressed list....oh well, there's always next year.

    I agree with Kilted Kt - Converse Chuck Taylor All-Star black monochrome low-quarter canvass basketball shoes w/ black ankle sox look totally rockin' with a black UtiliKilt & black t-shirt! Pull your long hair through the back of your baseball cap & your ready for the concert!

    Rock On!

    I've tried the sport shoes look, but I don't really like the way it looks on me; the thick padding on the typical sports shoe makes my sz.13 feet look even bigger!

    These shoes definitely make me rethink that though.
