Tactics

Shoes are not particularly useful to many classes, since most survivors are already fairly quick on their feet. Their best use is to counteract the Fighter's low speed, allowing them to move quickly into advantageous positions.

They can also be useful on the survivor tasked with scavenging on a mission- typically a Scavenger; the increased movement speed can speed up scavenging by letting them move from item to item faster. However, this is generally not as effective as using Hand Wraps or Gloves.

Shoes can also be useful in large locations, where it can be necessary to have your survivors cover great distances quickly in order to get into position.
