Someone finally did a study on kids and what happens when they wear shoes

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3031211/

It has officially been found that the speed of a child's gait decreases, they tend to heel-strike, their stride length increases and they lose motion in their feet and efficiency in their gait when they wear shoes.

More goodness in there - they noticed that increased cushioning doesn't necessarily decrease shock absorption.
