“...wait for them to come to him...”
I don’t know... if it were me, I’d rather be in secure footwear that allows me to move quickly, NOT step on something sharp that would penetrate my foot and leave me on the ground or unable to shoot and scoot effectively, or something that flops around, falls off, trips me up...
Hell, even a pair of sneakers is better. At least their tied to your feet.
Each to their own, I guess.
“... At least their tied to your feet....”
Should be “they’re” ... sorry, morning brain over here...
