I used to religiously wear my Nike 5.0 freerunning shoes. I wore them for everything except formal events. They strengthen your feet and legs and offer lots of tactile feel and grip. I loved them. When they got wet, it would only take 15-20 minutes to dry. It was only a matter of whether or not to wear socks with those shoes. Best $50 I ever spent. Since I wore them out(4 years of concrete pads and roughly 15,000mi of running/hiking/climbing), I have found that going barefoot is the best way to do it. Doesn't matter if your feet get wet or muddy, never problems with ventilation, and all the grip your toes will allow. Although, I am Native American and don't get poison ivy, bug bites, or cuts/scratches from rocks and roots.
Are you serious? I've seen a few people playing barefoot but I don't think I could because of rocks and such. I absolutely LOVE playing in my Vibram Five Fingers in the summer, but it can get annoying stubbing your toes and having to fetch your disc from the brush. Besides those pitfalls, throwing off the teepad is simply incredible. The grip is impeccable (Except in wetness), and I feel that my control improves as well. I hit my first ace in my Vibram KSO's.
