I agree with the boots — if you buy short (mid calf) ones, you won’t have to knit up tooo extra far to get a nice inch or two showing out of the top. But then you need a skirt, so…

Another idea if you aren’t doing the clog or merrill thing are the see through Converse sneakers…

No shoe suggestions here (although I’m curious as to what others may be suggesting). But, your pomatomus sock looks fabulous in that colorway!

I usually buy my shoes just a smidge on the large side. In the summer I can put supportive insoles in them, in the winter I can wear wool socks. That said, clogs fit all manner of socks.

Those pomatomuses are just beautiful!

Oh, do NOT ask the shoe question of the knitnight gang unless you want new shoes RIGHT NOW. (I guarantee that Fluevogs will come up in the conversation!)

Me, I wear my handknit socks with medium height leather boots. But, then again, I work in a conservatively-dressed profession where visible colorful wool socks would probably be frowned upon.

I wear my handknits with boots – very practical in that they keep my feet warm, not so good in the showcasing the socks department. I bought the boots a half-size large so that they fit with the socks.

Sundara… yup. :-) Great attitude regarding the socks. Let me know what you find shoe wise. My fleecey lined Merrill clogs are a bit tight with the handknits and once they stretch out a bit I worry that they will get scrubbed to death from the friction.
