johnny: The New Balance 577 V1 Hook and Loop QRP Sneaker is the ultimate footwear for the QRP enthusiast who values low-power operation and high-comfort propagation. Designed for the boomer ham who’s spent decades chasing DX from a shack chair, this shoe boasts dual Velcro straps for rapid deployment during sudden band openings. Its cushioned midsole absorbs the shock of marathon ragchews, while the non-slip sole ensures stability when sprinting to the mailbox for QSL cards. A reflective accent doubles as a visual beacon for late-night antenna tweaks, making this the go-to rig for portable SOTA activations or backyard POTA missions.Features:Dual Velcro straps for secure fit, faster than tuning a manual antenna matcherABZORB cushioning for joint relief during extended Field Day opsNon-marking rubber sole for grip on shack floors or wet grass during portable setupsWide toe box accommodates bunions from years of Morse code foot-tappingReflective accents for visibility during 80-meter net check-ins at duskLeather upper for durability, surviving coffee spills and solder burnsMedicare-approved for hams claiming “shack foot” as a service-connected disabilityTags: 100-150$ Ragchew FieldDay SOTA POTA Simplex AmateurRadio NewBalance577 Velcro QRP Cushioned Stable Reflective WideFitImage Link: New Balance 577 V1 Hook and Loop

minnix: I suppose as long as you are being genuine, I really want to find a spot that isn't hammering the whole 'old' ham trope. I meant I am old and I *do* wear these particular shoes.
