Do they have steel toes? They’re not tactical slippers if they don’t have steel toes. I need crush protection when I’m kicking back.

Those are not attractive. I don’t know what I was expecting, but year.

Don’t forget to put on your tactical kilt first!

God damn it @beschizza, just because it is black, doesn’t make it tactical.

Does it have velcro for morale patches? No.

Does it have MOLLE loops? No.

Does it have a little pocket for emergency ammo? No.

Does it have a heel activated switch for a little knife in the toe? No.

These are just fancy slippers. Hell they are a little less fancy than regular Sketchers sneakers with no laces.

“Tactical” is very specific military terminology for “masturbation”.

They’re for when you have to step outside to pick up the dangerous newspapers.

I feel like Tevas are almost always conspicuously ugly.

Speaking of tactical pens… It’s a total marketing gimmick. Real pros said that instead of some bling-y tactical pen, you should just invest in a metal barrel pen that looks like… a regular pen, but tough enough to be used as a weapon. Like a Parker with a steel barrel.

Having owned a tactical pen and the Parker pen, I agree. Parker pen will be mistaken for a regular pen… because it is a “regular” pen.

I find the idea of tactical slippers ridiculous.

No thanks. I don’t want to live my life with the mindset that everything needs to be “technical”.

considering most “engagements” will be in am urban enviornment a truly tactical show is something that doesn’t make you stand out.

“did you see anything suspicious that day?”

“yeah i saw some tacticool guy in a milsurp jacket and weird shoes”
