Wrestling Shoes with a Gi!
Don't do it.

It looks stupid.

You couldn't tape and/or wrap it? Seems like that would help just as much, if not more than shoes.

some people have toes/skin that rip unless they wear shoes. Who cares how lit "looks"? What are we? Highschool girls?

Shoes can be a lifesaver for sprained toes that refuse to stay taped and for certain types of foot and ankle sprains. If I had been wearing shoes in Judo class I wouldn't have gotten a Lisfranc fracture/dislocation that took 2 surgeries to fix
