I can't imagine putting those on. I prefer hiking boots. The heavier and stiffer, the better. One of my irrational fears is being surprised by an intruder while barefoot. I just feel much more confident in boots. It's a lot like why people feel more secure with a firearm by the bedside. Though a liberal would weepily and condescendingly tell me I have unresolved issues with aggression, or some nonsense like that.
