Not wanting to draw attention to my shoes....

[rickevans]

But with the recent broken leg and all, I cannot wear moccasins much except around camp (and the house). I have purchased a pair of "looks ok at 27 feet. Maybe." chukka style shoes (Hush Puppies?) that look like rough out hide. They are a neutral tan color. Should they be black, dark brown, reddish brown...

I know they would not pass a juried event, I just want to be able to walk around Kalamazoo on Saturday and not be all crippled up on Sunday. How can I make them, er, less conspicuous?
Also what should they be tied up with? Or should I retro-fit some buckles?

Don't worry about it. If it really bothers you to not be PC, I put carbon fiber orthodic's and Dr. Scholl's Jellin' insert's in my Moc's. Can't see 'em and I have "Happy Feet"!

how about some low hanging legging. that may camaflage those "puppies"

In all honesty Rick, I wouldn't worry about it. I see lots of folks wearing modern shoes at the event. That's a lot of walking, all day on a hard concrete floor. Your health is more important that wearing mocs believe me. When your working the booth, no one can see your feet anyway, so again, I would not worry about it.

How about some bell bottom pants? Pinstriped. Nobody will pay any attention to your shoes, gaurenteed. :lol:

I still have my red and white stripped one's from the Bi-Centenial!. What a great time THAT was! Waiting for guy's to re-enact that!

Path...I have some of those too...just waiting for them to come back into style, or as you say, we start re-enacting that era!

Thanks for the comments.

I had a blue and white striped pair from 1969. I bet you guys don't fit in them though.

Half of me would fit into mine...

I may have found another solution.....
