After forgetting my shoes for the 1st time, I thought it was necessary to finally make my OCR checklist to help others, so they don’t make the same mistake I did! Do not miss your elite wave & have to run to nearest store & spend $$$ on shoes that are not broke in, & not geared towards this lifestyle ( but that’s all they carry ). Brand new heavy weighted, too much padding, non-gripped, sponge shoes are not fun, but will do the job. The fact that you missed your elite wave though, you can’t replace that. Best you can do is sneak in a wave when you finally get back to the course. So here is my list, hope it helps! If you would like something added, to this list, let us know!
