Subject: Shoes are as bad as sweets & tobacco for kids

I just came across an article where this poor boy got his feet burned due to blink-light shoes his mother got him: https://metro.co.uk/2018/07/03/boy-9-horrifically-burned-after-light-up-shoes-leak-acid-over-his-feet-7678434/
It's a shame companies exploit children's obedience to parents and fascination with lights to cramp their paws into something tight and artificial. I'm beginning to think parents should be equally strong in enforcing bare feet as most parents are against them. So many individuals ingrain into their child's heads that feet are disgusting blobby appendages to be hidden away, as if they were an evolutionary anatomical mistake. In fact, there is a video on this very thing: https://youtu.be/kd-FZptfGUE
The only reason people would think a human child's feet are a deformed error is societal programming. This is also seen in the exclusion of human rights from natural rights, where it is excusable for animals to act according to their nature but inexcusable for humans to act according to theirs. Read any incident of an attack by a wild animal, and most comments will be defending the animal and condemning the person: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOLDAeYK8jc
Contemporary events illustrate an artificial divide between humanity and the natural world.
I think us barefooter parents should be equally strong in the opposite direction - we should encourage natural activity, ween children off reliance on synthetic support, give encouragement and compliments whenever they spend a whole day barefoot and shower their sweet little toe-beans with kisses, nibbles and the love they deserve! We are of nature and in our rights to act according to it.
