A footwear carrying system may include first and second separate carriers, each having a first attachment point near a first end of the carrier, a second attachment point near a second end of the carrier opposite the first end, and a third attachment point along a side of the carrier. A first strap may be adapted to connect the first and second attachment points of the first carrier, and a second strap may be adapted to connect the first and second attachment points of the second carrier. The third attachment points of the first and second carriers may be adapted to connect the first and second carriers together. The carriers may be suspended from one or more shoulders of a wearer, or attached to another carrier using the straps or a connection between the first and second carriers.
