        Not sure if this will constitute an unpopular opinion here or not. Hopefully not. Posted this on the WAYWT thread but thought it may be seen and commented on a bit more here.
        "Must admit I haven't contributed much to the forum recently. I appreciate, and always will appreciate the respect shown here. But sometimes I think opinions are a little too restrained or non-existant(especially in the WAYWT threads). Bit of respectful honesty makes things a bit more interesting. I don't expect to like everyone's taste and vice-versa…but sometimes others may have a pertinent comment or suggestion to make and should be at liberty to do so without resorting to insults/mockery."

          I actually like those more than kilties.

            You'll be pleased to know, that for some of the retailer orders I have taken for 2 tone lace-ups the client has  specifically requested kilties in both colours, so both can be worn at once….

              Kilties are, in addition to being a tongue protector, allegedly to distribute pressure more evenly from the lacing.

              I also dislike them.

              Think it, be it.

                  Kilties are hideous and people who wear them are blind

                    Form follows function, imo.  But that's one of the reasons I don't usually wear boots at all.

                          You mean like one color on the right foot and the other on the left, or both kilties on each foot?  I can't decide which would look more bizarre.

                          Probably would still look better than a pair of Chuck Taylors…

                                  That seems like it would really be uncomfortable- Wesco already has a tongue that needs to be folded over, so with the double kilties, that's 5 layers of leather under the laces.

                                    The folded tongue has the added gusseting functionality of keeping water out; if it's a choice, I'd go that route.

                                    Think it, be it.

                                          I can't fucking stand sushi. Finally came to that conclusion today at lunch. I just can't eat a cold lunch or dinner.
