One of the requirements MIHT 168 has as an honor troop is that all Scouts are to look similar when it comes to uniforms.

Whenever a Scout is in "Class A" uniform, the Scout is expected to be wearing dark brown deck shoes similar to the shoes shown in the picture on the left.

The shoes should be comfortable as the Scout will be in them during duty and marching, but they cannot be tennis shoes or hiking boots.

The shoes should be dark brown, and not light brown.   If a Scout wears light brown deck shoes, he may need to add dark brown shoe polish to the shoes to have them match the shoes of the other Scouts.
