    Not to take the post off topic, but I wonder how hard it would be to attach some feet to them.

    I couldn't resist it! It is not photoshop really, but GIMPShop. Hooray for freeware.

    GIMPShop. The Irony... big pins going through your feet = gimp. Very powerful software for the price.

    It would be somewhat of a pain in the tush since they're machine made...however, the ribbing could be removed by cutting, frog the stitches back a couple of rows to before the patterned top, pick up the live stitches and then you run into the problem of finding the right sized needle to match the gauge and an even bigger problem on finding yarn to match to knit the foot. Not worth it to me when kilt hose can be purchased easily.

    They might look good over regular socks with taller boots (8"-10").

    That is a very good method for a knitter, but a real man would use a stapler with colored staples to match the yarn.
    If you see abbreviations, initials or acronyms you do not know the Xmarks FAQ section on abbreviations may help.
