My flights are mostly ULH, and I always fly with slip-on shoes rather than lace-ups. Not only is this far more convenient when you need to get up during the flight, but it's also far easier at security checks where you may be required to remove your shoes. Some airports still don't provide seats after the security checks, so slip on shoes make things easier.
What's with those people who use the loo during flight just wearing their socks or barefoot?! That liquid on the floor ain't exactly holy water...
