    Think we can get a different pose next time? I'm growing to think you have an image that you re-work with paintshop or some other image editing program!

    posted this in the wrong thread a while back..and yes, they look good..but.....

    to clarify....( make sure no one tried an 800-mile trek in these)

    the aforementioned footwear metioned are NOT boots. They are extra-tall Converse All-Star Sneakers. They were very popular as a baskteball shoe until Nike and Reebok started making shoes specifically for basketball.

    You can see a great many skateboarders and what some consider "alternative" or "punk" people wearing thise because they are extremely inexpensive and last a good long time.

    Looks great! Who'd-a thought that high-top Converse All-Stars would look so great with a kilt!

    I have heard - usually in reference to sports shoes - the British use "boots" as a slang term for sneakers/trainers. You don't wear football cleats; you wear footie boots. I assume this is what Derek means when he refers to his Chuck Taylors as boots.

    And as an aside, while I may not attempt an 800-mile trek in Chuck Taylors, the famous Grandma Gatewood, a 75 year-old woman, thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail (2,000+ miles) three times in Keds tennis shoes.

    When I backpack I don't wear boots, I wear running shoes. A little more sophisticated than Chuck Taylors, but sneakers nontheless.

    Dagnabbit! You stole my post! I was going to wait until I had read the whole thread, but you beat me to the punch!

    I definately like the first kit. Second kit... eh... I'm personally not diggin' the yellow tartan at all. My motto is to each his own, so I'm far from knockin' it. I definately think you should swap to a brown sporran and belt with it, though.
