A sheriff’s office in Arizona is being called out for “sandal shaming” after calling attention to a hiker who was unprepared for a 10-mile hike.

Undersheriff Michael L. Johnson of the Gila County Sheriff’s Department tells Yahoo Lifestyle that Sunday’s rescue mission is far from the first that’s taken place on the popular Arizona hiking trail Fossil Creek. But, he and other deputies hope that it’s one of the last after posting a warning to the department’s Facebook page with a photo of the inadequate footwear worn by one of the eight rescued that evening.

Lots of rattlesnakes in Arizona. Cottonwood Az 30 years ago had more snakes than people.
