Not a foot man myself, however only Barb would come up with a thoughtful analysis regarding losing the shoes before fighting. I've noticed that in a lot of fights on Youtube, etc., the women are fighting barefoot -- in the street, on the lawn, wherever. Personally, I don't understand why. If I were in a fight, the last thing I'd do is take off my footwear. If my opponent did, I'd do my best to stomp on his toes. THAT hurts!
