Kiltie / Skirt Shoe Style

A "kiltie" is a decorative piece of leather that is fringed or slotted and placed on the tongue of the shoe, extending over the vamp. It is often secured by the shoe's laces or a strap, and sometimes covers a section of the laces entirely. The name "kiltie" is derived from its resemblance to the fringed leather apron worn with a traditional Scottish kilt. This eye-catching detail adds a layer of texture and visual interest, making the shoe a true conversation starter.
