I'm an evaluator at 3-4 camps this summer. I spend 0% of the time looking at someone's shoes when someone's wearing shorts.

I think patent leather with shorts in the summer looks just silly. Not silly enough to downgrade someone or even mention it. But likely what the evaluators were laughing about.

It is sort of like wearing a bow tie with a T-shirt.....or dress shoes and dress socks with board shorts.
