The comments about her Chucks were mostly fun, supportive, and kind.

She had just toured Mack’s Apples in Derry, NH. Heels in an apple orchard? Nope!
The Guardian did an in-depth look.

Kamala Harris: what her sneakers mean
As a woman of colour wearing sneakers on the campaign, it semaphores a change in political dress and much more
theguardian.com
Kamala Harris’s nomination as Joe Biden’s running mate is historic: the daughter of immigrants from Jamaica and India, she is the first woman of colour to be on a major party’s presidential ticket. She is also the first to prominently wear sneakers on the campaign trail.
Harris’s preference for non-traditional footwear was first seen last year when she was a Democratic presidential hopeful, and appeared in Converse Chuck Taylor All Stars. As she told The Cut: “I run through airports in my Converse sneakers. I have a whole collection of Chuck Taylors: a black leather pair, a white pair, I have the kind that don’t lace, the kind that do lace, the kind I wear in the hot weather, the kind I wear in the cold weather, and the platform kind for when I’m wearing a pantsuit.”
Women’s fashion choices are seldom a fair topic. While others may seek the deeper meanings behind sneakers, my Chucks wearing daughter said it simply: “Heels all day? We don’t have to do that anymore!”
What we do have to do is VOTE!
