Hmm....  nothing can bite your toes, but you can still trip.

And those who "toss 'em and run barefoot" a lot will have learned from the 
experience that going barefoot actually provides one with a better feel
for the terrain, and thus a more sure-footed way of travelling.  It needs
a little more care (watch out for glass, pointy rocks, and scorpions) but
is arguably safer in many cases.

Going barefoot is of course also the more agile way to go:
