Strangest thing...

Perhaps the bottom of your UQ brushed them off to the side as you swayed.

I hang close to the ground and have had this happen.

I really think its a Gremlin. They live here in northeastern Maryland and northern Delaware, and with St. Pattys day being yesterday, it doesn't surprise me that you got hit. Leprechauns and gremlins are on the same branch of the evolutionary tree ya know. My little head built a leprechaun trap to catch the slick little ginger haired guy and get his pot o' gold , but to no avail. He left green sandy foot prints on the kitchen table and some shiny little St. Patty's day trinkets for her instead tho, lol. Oh that's it! Jelly, I'll give you the 'chaun trap and maybe with the right bait it will catch your mischievous, shoe moving Gremlin! But if you catch it, don't blink! My daughter says if you blink than that's all the time he needs to escape! And 4 year olds are EXPERTS in ALL things mythical ya know! Well that, and making things up, but I think she's right on this one, lol. Good luck, they are lightning fast, smart and tricky!

I will test this tonight. It isn't supposed to rain though, so there is also no need for the leprechaun/gremlin/gnome/Sasquatch/Bigfoot to mess with my shoes either.

Could be a possum or a raccoon. They can be very stealth. Shoes would be attractive because they contain some salts from body sweat. Mine can contain various odiferous pleasures according to my wife. I sometimes just loop mine over my suspension to be safe. I am most fearful of spiders crawling in them. I was bitten by a black widow in northern lower Michigan. That was the last time I slept in a tent.

Now you went and did it. Openly accusing a leprechaun ? If you so much as close your eyes.....You'll have better luck finding Jimmy Hoffa than your shoes now.

I am acutely aware that the Hawthorne Effect will undoubtably skew any further observations on this phenomenon. We may never have an answer.

Yeah this was my thought also. But it could be a mogwai, U never know with them sneaky devils. They hate bright lights and never feed them past midnight, Last time some one did that around here we had a whole mess of them

A few years ago, my ex girlfriend had a gopher crawl into her shoes that she had taken off and left on the lawn. It wouldn't surprise me if it was something of that nature.
