Shoes is the topic of this thread
I tend to OC when ever im not at work or school. my outfits are well maintained nothing ratty and i have seen many threads about appearance when OCing and how you carry yourself. But nothing over shoes. During the winter most of us wear boots or shoes to keep the snow off, but during the summer months what is your shoes of choice while OC? Im sure most dont think about what kinda of shoes they wear while OC or just carrying in general, so i thought i would put in my 2 cents on this topic. I just like most in the hot months wear flip flops and find them to be the most comfortable to wear....unless i carry. I say this and i know i will receive some flack from my word choice so forgive me i find waring flip flops to be less tactical. By this I mean that in flip flop if i need to draw and stand i will be fine, and i think most of us can do that without problems, but if you need to move to cover or run, being in flip flops impedes movement to me, and maybe others. The last thing i want to have to do is kick off the flip flops just to be mobile. specially in a parking lot, or places with stones and risk of glass just to move. So i find shoes or boots while carrying to be the most effective if something happens. I guess its thinking a few steps ahead in my book. So if i carry CC or OC i always put on shoes for above reasons. so i would like to hear from others what there input on the matter of foot wear or if this has helped anyone.
