Your comically incorrect spelling of 'reckless' creates a humorous addition to your discourse.
I think you're being needlessly critical. Clearly in the extremely unlikely event of needing to escape a burning aeroplane, such footwear will definitely be inappropriate.
You clearly assume the chances of needing to escape a burning aeroplane are vanishingly small and choose not to allow for that possibility. Others choose to be prepared regardless of how unlikely the event. It is their choice, and they do not deserve your judgement.
Equally, they should respect your assumption that it is too unlikely to happen.
But remember, assumption is the mother of all FUs.
