shooting shoes alternative

Deck shoes like Sperry Topsiders dont have any support. Even the ones with the thick soles are more round than flat. IMHO not the best choice, but very comfortable.

Hi

I looked in the NRA Conventional Bullseye book and at least bullseye prohibits any form of supporting clothing or other "support". I had been told that the book specifically prohibits high topped shoes. Obviously that's not TRUE. From my understanding "support" would include high topped shoes, but I've never seen anyone called on it. Do the International books prohibit high topped shoes?

I've shot in VERY old topsiders and they work fine.

NRA International Pistol Rule 3.11 prohibits high side shoes that "...cover the ankle bone or could give support..."

Do the International books prohibit high topped shoes?

ISSF rule 8.4.7.4 states:-
"Low-sided shoes should be worn. Any high-sided type shoes (such as Rifle, Basketball, or Ski boots, etc.) which cover the ankle bone, or could give support, are not permitted. Shoes will be checked at Equipment Control. Clothing will be checked on the firing line."

Sauers in Australia are close to $300! My wife shoots in 10 pin bowling shoes, flat hard soles and much cheaper too.
