Open Question: Was I right to encourage a girl to take off her shoes?

[feedcrawler]

I am 16 years old and male.Not long ago,there's was a girl I know at school who was sitting right in front of me in class.Shes very pretty and quite nice.She was wearing a skirt,black stockings and black flats.As soon as she sat down,she slipped off her shoes and was telling the girl right next to her about how"my feet are killing me so much!"The girl said something to the effect of"why don't you just take them off?"She replied that she "didn't want to be seen walking the halls without any shoes on."I interjected ,telling her that it was silly for her to worry about what everyone else thought,and that if her feet were hurting so much,she was going to be miserable for the rest of the day.Then I told her "just take the stupid shoes off:it beats listening to you groan about your feet all day!"(I said this in a manner that conveyed that I was only joking,of course!)I guess she took what I said to heart;at the end of class,she carried her shoes with her and walked on in her stocking feet!Look,Ill admit that my motives in changing her mind weren't entirely selfless.The girl is cute and I have a major foot-fetish!Still,I think that working on her in this matter was the right thing to do for her own comfort.Am I right?
