Not necessarily.
For instance, if lifeguards wore shoes, they'd hardly be able to rescue surfers in trouble.
The wine making festivals in Greece, Italy and Spain would not be the same if people pulverised the grapes in stilettos or rubber-soled boots.
A person could live a very laid back life, but if the ground were too hot, cold, hard, rough, soft or full of hidden nasties like poisonous critters... well, one would wear (or make) the appropriate footwear.
It's more a matter of where you live, your culture, and how you earn your living.
