Kind of; I wear sneakers rather than my usual sport sandals, not so much because of evacuation but because of the shoe carnival at security. Socks and sandals are a step too far even for me (and kind of miss the point of keeping my feet cool and unconstricted), and this way I'm not barefoot going through security.
Can't hurt to have the closed toes in an evacuation, but I don't think the sneakers really offer much protection.
