That area of the body is pretty vulnerable if you have an accident so it's an area I'd want to protect. Footwear with laces wouldn't be a choice I'd go with either unless I knew the the laces wouldn't get caught on foot pegs or foot operated levers.
I've ridden around in t-shirt, jeans and trainers before but I've been aware of what I'm wearing and ridden at a speed that's appropriate with the PPE I'm wearing... ie I wouldn't wear trainers on a LoFo ride out.
With regard to coppers in the states and others that ride around wearing shorts or t-shirts the choice is theirs.
