ES - Soccer shoes?

[Valentyn]

Okay, I'll bite...
I just read the thousand messages regarding shoes.  In general, I'm very
much against legislating
clothing.  The more we restrict clothing choice, the less welcome the
Society becomes.

As far as the immediate issue goes, I'm all for a request to avoid the
blatantly mundane.  What
I'm wondering, however, is why this is such a hot issue?  I heard a lot of
grumbling about it before
Queen's, quite a bit AT Queen's, and now it's an issue for Defender.  Yet I
haven't actually *seen*
anyone wearing soccer cleats, golf shoes, or Air Jordans on the field.  I
noticed one fighter out of
65+ wearing jeans at Queen's, but that was a bit too subtle to ruin my SCA
experience.  What
brought all this on?
