It's actually not a bad idea. In Asia, there are gazillions of riders.
The streets are crowded with them. _Very_ few wear much protective
gear at all. Most cities are in the tropics, which means wearing
leather and heavy boots is impracticable. A high percentage of people
wear sandals when riding. That won't change, no matter how many public
service ads are run. A sturdy sandal makes sense.
