Yeah, I was thinking the exact same thing... What would they look like with longer laces? I didn't buy longer laces today, but I was thinking about what it might look like with some long leather laces wound around some hose.

If you wore green hose, you would have little snatches of green peeking out of the shoe. I tried them on with some grey socks... I am still not sure what to think, but the effect is not unpleasant. Later, I may try on my thick green woolen hose, my blackwatch kilt, and my new shoes, and see how everything looks as a whole in a somewhat 'dressy' outfit. I'll probably have my wife snap a picture. I can post them if anybody is interested.

Oh, and before I forget, I really, REALLY would like to find a little Saltire nubbin to pop in to my shoe. I've seen the USA flag and the Union Jack, so I am hoping and praying that somebody has a Saltire flag.
