Shoes are like hats

Is it wrong not to wear shoes?

Only about 75 years ago it was about as socially unacceptable for a man to go out without a hat as it is now to go out without shoes on. I remember reading Rees Howells Intercessor and being amazed at how hard it was for Rees to even contemplate going to an important engagement without his hat. Having run barefoot for over a year now the natural progression might be to do away with shoes altogether and join the barefoot living community. But I find a strong feeling within me that I would cause offence by doing so. Perhaps Isaiah had a hard time going around barefoot too, and naked. Such is fashion.
