Probably generalisable to 'Exotic Footwear (1)': You have trained yourself to function without penalty in some type of impractical or encumbering shoes.

Maybe they also reduce the penalties for kicking someone in the tulips?

Jacky Chan had a nice wooden shoe fight in Rotterdam in his movie "Who am I". He also use kicking, punching (with smaller wooden shoes oin his hands) and letting those shoes fly.
