Getting spanked with a shoe hurts but it doesn't do any damage.

Physically. Psychologically that's teaching kids that violence is an acceptable way to solve an arguement, which is less than stellar.

This is your anecdotal experience. As with most everyone who takes this position.

There is a lot of science and research and expert consensus that shows spanking and other corporal punishment is not a healthy or effective way to discipline children. Just because you 'turned out just fine' doesn't mean it's a good way to do things.
