Strick Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Robert was asked today at Nationals about the Salomon and he said they were fine. Is there any written authorization from Robert Ray himself?? Is there any written ruling saying they are not legal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strick Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 One of the other shooters had a pair on and was given a little grief by an SO. After he was done shooting he went to Robert, while wearing the shoes, to get a ruling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a little grief from an SO also and I told him "don't make me pull out my napkin". Edited September 26, 2011 by Paul-the new guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strick Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 He was wearing Speedcross 3's and he said that Robert said they were fine. He let me know since he is also a Rudy a shooter and I also had a pair on and was in the same squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikegot38 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I went to Ted Murphy and Robert Ray at chrono right after I finished my reshoot and showed them my shoes. First Ted and then Robert said that my Salomon Speedcross 3 trail shoes are legal. They are geat trail shoes and much more comfortable that the soccer cleets I wore for soccer. If I knew how to post pictures of my soccer cleets here, I would do so. These trail shoes do not even come close to the soccer cleets I wore for over 40 years or the baseball cleets I wore in my teens.

blu46and2 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Someone ask about Inov-8 Mudclaw 333s, then... I would think if the Speedcross' are legal so would the Mudclaw as they have a very similar tread pattern but if you're planning on shooting a sanction match when them I would take the advice in this thread and get a ruling before shooting.

Strick Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I can't see where those would be either comfortable or beneficial but I have seen a few shooters sporting them. BJ Norris had on a pair at Area 4 and I saw a pair at the IDPA Nationals. I want a pair of tactical flip-flops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently, there are several big shooters switching to these "toe shoes". I was getting caught up on my 3-gun nation TV shows last night and saw Rob Romero sporting some...there's a guy here locally who shoots 3-gun in them and he swears by them...

waktasz Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 I was checking out the Speedcross but coulnd't justify the price right now. I felt like I needed something other than regular sneakers after I landed on my face at Area 8 this year. I just picked up a pair of these. http://www.zappos.com/adidas-running-kanadia-4-tr-m-black-metallic-silver-sharp-blue I like them a lot and already shot my first muddy match with them with no problem.

hankfan79 Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 (edited) The Vibrams are very comfortable. Like walking around barefooted but with tread. They are awesome and strengthen your calf muscles and legs. Edited October 3, 2011 by hankfan79 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiza Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 At the IDPA Worlds I was wearing Inov-8 295's. On of the SO's made a ( CLEAT ) annotation on my scoresheet. I told him that they were trial running shoes with lugs not cleats. Anyway the match director came over and told me that they were ok and not to worry about it. I think it was a great decision since Fl weather was terible and it rained a lot through out the match. I saw a lot of guys wearing Kanadias, Salomons, etc. It is reassuring to have a good grip when you are running a muddy stage. More of a safety issue than an advantage thing..

sirveyr Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 I wore my SpeedCross 3's at the Indiana IDPA Championship. I received zero complaints from the SO's and lots of questions and "COOL!" comments from my fellow competitors. I love my Salomons! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Murphy Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I wore Vasque hikers at the world shoot. I saw a lot of lightweight hikers with aggressive soles. Some of them looked to be gore-tex, others not. I don't mind heavy boots as I wear them all day at work, but I hate having wet feet. Ted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
