        I didn't see this answer previously, so here's another angle:

         

        Every gym is going to need some type of insurance to operate, and I'll bet that the insurance companies require the shoes. Most likely, the origin is people dropping weights on their feet, not toes getting caught in treadmills. My school gym requires close-toed shoes, which excludes all forms of sandals/tevas/etc. for this very reason. I don't know how a tennis shoe will protect me from a 20lb weight, but anyway. 

         

        However, by that same description, VFF's should be permissible
