I like to believe there was no alcohol at all, and that you were merely on an insane rant where speelnigs are unimportant. We've all been there.
While it is true that going barefoot is several times more awesome than wearing shoes, shoes can help preserve your feet. Not wearing shoes all the time can mean that your feet crack around the edges, but wearing shoes all the time makes you SOFT.
So yes, I do approve of this not shoe wearing business.
