[UPDATED 7/11/24] “Fishie” the fish-themed shoe carrier added!  Now you can always look like it was a successful fishing trip, even if you come home empty-handed :-)

When I'm not prepared and need to carry an extra pair of shoes, I just tie the laces together and attach them somewhere on my backpack on-the-go.  However, this messes up the spacing of my laces and shoe fitment with my feet. I would have to readjust them before I could wear them again. 

A better way is to carry your shoes by the loops above the heels - it's neater/easier and saves you the trouble of readjusting the laces.

While I'm at it, let's just make it very easy to clip on and off, for all your on-the-go adventures such as fishing, hiking, camping, etc.

Key Features:

1. Uses the popular Rugged “D” Carabiner to clip things in and out.
2. Clips onto the shoes' loops above the heel.
3. Clips on anywhere on your backpack.
4. Spaces the shoes apart nicely.
5. Preserves your shoes fitment to your feet by not messing with your laces.
6. Available in 2 variants: one that works by itself, and one that can be combined with my BX Loops in any combination to suit your attachment needs.

Printing Recommendations:

1. Use PETG/ASA for outdoor use. PETG has better flexural characteristics (more flex).
2. Do not use PLA.
3. Paint on seams (in .3mf file) avoids putting a seam near the clips.  If you put the seams by the clip opening, you risk unintentionally welding the clip together.
