Why does Gomer wear tennis shoes in Gomer Overcomes the Obstacle Course?
Just wondering..
Why does Gomer wear tennis shoes in Gomer Overcomes the Obstacle Course? None of the other members of the platoon have them. My Gomer Pyle Website |

To me, it just looks like shoes you would wear when you were running. Gomer wouldn't run in boots. Also the shoes look like regular sneakers of that time frame. 1960's and one would need a shoe to grab while running the obstacle course

Everyone in the hut scenes is in sneakers. It's a mix of sneakers and boots in the obstacle scene. I wonder if the guys in boots are real Marines? Everyone you see completing obstacles seems to be in boots, except a couple sneaker guys who do the rope swing.
