It is a line from Bull Durham

Ah, in that regard I am ignorant.

Call down a troop of tactically dressed. Killer angels and kill what needed killing.

Would they be wearing strappy Heysoos slippers?

A couple of days ago our swamp boat tour captain wore flip flops.

I wouldn't have gotten in the boat.

Had a swamp boat captain once... He was dressed like he was ready to be a stunt double for Stallone in Rambo 2. He was also barefoot... He commented about his full camo and lack of sleeves as his advantage if the boat sinks. He said the gators would for sure get us first as we flailed around in our bright clothes baggy. The creepy dude had a plan, and I respect that. Ha!

I thought flip flops or bare feet would be better in this case than hip waders

...and the first thing that gunslinger did when he hit the street was to kick off those problematic flip flops. Bet he never wears them again...

Yup.

Been there. Not a gun fight but a serious enough hands on. Flip flop near got me hurt. Near.

After the fight was over...

you can keep you feet in shoe coffins all you want

Have a pair of FF's I wear around the house but 99% of the time strap sandals. They rock.

Dude in the vid would have been better off bare foot from the start. That's where he went when looking for further or return threats.

At the shooting point in time, the guy had no choice in the matter. Differerent story if he had on proper shoes from the beginning.

What makes flip flops tactical?

You're a ninja or taliban?

That's South Africa. Guy was wearing sandals because it is the Third World and one wears sandals. Feet full of sores and parasites. *Shudder*

Unless someone has stolen all of my proper shoes and left this pseudo-footwear behind, it could never happen to me.

The instructor's footwear choice would be pretty low on my list of things to judge their competency on. A good argument can be made for trianing how you are. If that is the type of footwear you use i. The real world, training in it makes sense. Even if it is Chris Costa.

Not my footwear of choice but to each their own.

Doing defensive training in what you were wearing and carrying yesterday is a lot more realistically beneficial than showing up in your IDPA "cover garment" and full-on limited rig for a concealed carry course.
