Sorry, I'm responding to every tenth message as I read them...
This makes for a pretty clear definition. NOW if I were driving five hours to
the event, I wouldn't have to worry about whether "reasonable attempt"
means late-15th century English footwear, etc. Should be enough.
By the way, as far as the children are concerned: The youth rapier rules
specifically require footwear which provides traction. For some reason,
this was a big sticky point when the committee was formulating the rules.
Don't be surprised if we see tennis shoes for a long time to come with
the youth -- flat-soled boots are considered dangerous according to the
kids' rules.
