Footwear in a daily setting with the kilt

[rodandy]

Any kilted occaision is the right time to be wearing proper kilt hose, another thing you may need to consider is the climate. Even in July it can be considerably cooler in Scotland than in San Francisco. You can wear the hiking boots with kilt hose up or down, and yes you can wear Oxfords with kilt hose.

I've been in Scotland and San Francisco both in July, and I'm not so sure that it is going to be much cooler in Scotland than San Francisco. In fact, I'm with Mark Twain who reportedly said "The coldest winter I ever spent was summer in San Francisco".

This discussion leads me to a related question I've been wondering about: What about flashes with the hose in a more casual setting (i.e. hiking boots)? Are flashes always appropriate, or only with dress shoes?

Thanks.
