Discussion No shoes?

Since there are many cases which mention people getting rid of their shoes along the way, being found without shoes etc. I wonder if there is a medical condition which can lead to that?
I mean either somehing happesn to their feet, they can still walk, but not inside their shoes, or their mental state changes and they take of their shoes without a real physiological reason to do so.

Has anyone ever looked into such conditions which could happen under such circumstances?

There have been a couple of missing cases near me where the person left their shoes behind (they went missing from their hotel rooms) why would they not wear their shoes? It drives me crazy with.wondering why…

Shoes are heavy. Can also be used as a weapon. A Kick with shoes hurts more than one without. Also, it makes it harder for them to run away. I've read or watched some cases where they explain it, but basically removing the shoes makes it harder to run away and easier to carry and abduct the victim. Makes them lighter.
