I was recently in Jamaica and I saw a shirt that said "No shoes, No shirt, No problem!" Unfortunately, it wasn't available in my size. According to barefooters.org, there is no law in any state against going barefoot in public, which of course isn't to say that a business might require its customers to be properly shod. The other day as I exited the movie theater (Star Trek!) and found it pouring rain outside. I had my KSOs on, so I rolled up my jeans, told my wife to wait for me to pick her up (I'm not usually so chauvinistic, she's just 7 months pregnant!), and just sprinted through the rain to the car. Of course my KSOs almost instantly got soaked through, but I hardly noticed it -- they were completely confidence inspiring as I ran through puddles, dodged cars, etc. Contrast that to wearing sandals or flip flops in the rain -- running in them in the rain is precarious at best, and ankle-sprain inducing at worst. So yeah, I like the VFFs too, which is why I've got a fan site for them :) Hadn’t heard about the Wysong inserts – might need to check those out (though I rarely ever where shoes with laces these days).
