I can see how cold weather regionals would not have this problem.
I saw someone decked out in team colors, wearing yellow crocs at CT once (before they were banned for safety reasons), but I can't imagine anyone wearing their sandals through the snow. Even if you're in a warm-weather area, how can you expect to get through crowded areas, work in the pit, carry the robot safely, etc. while wearing open-toed shoes? I'm assuming only spectators would be caught like this?
