In the warm summer weather I have normally just worn sandals with the Utilikilts. When hiking boots or shoes are more appropriate I have worn kilt hose 'scrunched'. Early in the year, during the snow, wore boots and thicker hose - sea-boot stockings are inexpensive and warm. I have not worn short socks, but cannot see anything wrong with them with light shoes, but never with sandals!
