      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.

                                        FWIW, sushi isn't intended to be served cold.

                                        Think it, be it.
