We here at Girl’s Guide are pretty picky about a lot of things. From food to ammunition to men, you’ll find that we are choosy in general and we highly encourage our readers to be just as selective. Our favorite area about which to be exclusive, however, is definitely fashion. When we’re wielding our firearms in the great outdoors or back at our favorite indoor range, we’re gonna look good doing it.
Two things you need in a shoe when you are shooting: (1) A fully covered toe, because you don’t want those hot shells burning your pinkie toe when you’re in target practice, now do you? And (2) you need to be able to feel the floor and be as stable as possible so you don’t eat it by slipping on that freshly ejected hot brass.
Enter: the boot, which just happens to be my all time favorite shoe. Rain or shine, you can find me in a boot. OK, sometimes flip flops. But mostly boots. They serve so many wonderful purposes- UGGs for the beach, high-heeled boots for a date, snow boots, rain boots, ski boots- you name the situation, there is a boot to cover it. That fact makes them an essential part of any shooter’s wardrobe.
One thing we’ve learned the hard way is that low or flat boots are critical when you are taking your gun for a spin. No complaints there, because low boots just happen to be perfectly “in” this season. And just in case you don’t have your own list of favorites compiled, we’ll get you off to a running start with the selection below. – Natalie
