I see that evacuating passengers were burning their feet on the 49C tarmac. Not a good idea to be in bare feet on take off or landing, always leave your shoes on.
I thought required SOP for using the evacuation slides was "Shoes OFF".

To avoid tearing and deflating the slide, or catching a foot in a crevice or fold and breaking a leg.

Or is this like grabbing luggage - "I'll do what is best for my feet - and screw the SOPs and everyone else!"
