The skirt looks good on you, but I wonder whether it is so straight that it might restrict your mobility and agility. I wear similar denim skirts two of which have short side vents and the other two have a narrow A-line. for better freedom of leg movement. Of course if you wear it slightly higher on your waist, as you would wear a formal kilt, this will lift the hemline up your legs slightly and allow you more freedom of movement.

Hi Ricky,
You look great in that skirt! However, like Cessna, I wonder about your freedom of movement. If you don't feel encumbered by the straightness of the skirt, then go for it!
If you do feel restricted, but still want the skirt, consider having a back vent added. A vent isn't a slit, it is sort of an inverted pleat: think about the openings in the back of men's jackets. It would allow you greater freedom of movement without disturbing the line of the skirt. Women have been using back vents in straight skirts for years with great success.
I wouldn't change the placement of the skirt vis a vis the waist. It was meant to be worn the way you are wearing it.
That being said, I don't care for the socks. I'd prefer no socks, low socks, sandals or knee socks. Boots, I think are a general problem for men in skirts, especially knee high boots. The only ones I can think of that might work are equestrian boots and they are horribly expensive.
But yes, the skirt works for you. You look good.

Shortening
If you don't like the idea of a slit or back pleat, you might think of shortening it by about 4 inches. Any tailor or dressmaker could do that very cheaply. It's a very well made skirt and looks good on you as it is, but I do understand the possible loss of mobility with too straight a skirt.
