Pathfinder shoes were essential for any Cub or Cub Scout or Scout.  The sole had a number of tiny examples of animal paw-prints on it.  They were raised, sort of embossed, and made a stamp on something like wet sand or mud; or a light-coloured carpet.  The shoes also had a small compass embedded into one of the soles.  Years later, I would get my own Pathfinder shoes.
