Taking Shoes Off While You’re Out- Tacky or Normal?

If you weren't in downtown Boise at Fatty's this past Saturday night, you missed out! Not only was Kissfm there holding it down like we do, but it was also the official BSU game after party (or drink the pain of loosing away party). The place was packed. Drinks were flowing (I'm pretty sure drinks had been flowing for many of you before you arrived LOL) and everyone was in a mood to party their faces off. Because a chunk of the crowd out that night had been day drinking already, the mood of the night was off the charts. As the clock slowly crept up to midnight, I couldn't help but notice many of the women on the dance floor already had their shoes in hand. Now, I obviously have no idea what-so-ever what it's like to wear heels. But I do know my wife will tear her feet up to the point of icing them the next day before she'll take her shoes off when we're out. She thinks it's bad etiquette, while her close friend doesn't think it's a big deal. This has now sparked a large debate between our friend's group, with everyone split on either side on who's right and who's wrong. IF my shoes were hurting my feet, I would probably just go home before taking them off. That's mainly because I know myself and it would totally freak me out if I stepped in something wet or sticky. So now I need to know the community's thoughts- is it bad taste to take your shoes off downtown? Or do we need to lighten up? Commentary is welcome...
