In both fiction and Real Life, prisoners, slaves, and other captives are often made to go without shoes and other footwear. This can be done for practical or psychological reasons, or some combination of the two. Since wearing shoes tends to be regarded as the norm, the captives' bare feet can also serve as a visual indicator of their lack of freedom both in-universe and in the real world, particularly if no other clothing changes are involved. Normally an Invoked Trope where the character is deliberately deprived of their shoes by their captors. Alternatively, the character may have ended up without shoes while attempting to flee from or fight off their captors or may have been somewhere where shoes are optional or forbidden when they got captured; in either scenario, the captors have little or no incentive to provide replacement footwear given the factors mentioned in the introduction. The trope does not apply to characters who are routinely barefoot for one reason or another before being abducted, imprisoned or enslaved. On the other hand, being forced to go barefoot in captivity may change a character into someone who Prefers Going Barefoot, even after escaping or being freed. May overlap with Go-Go Enslavement or Barefoot Poverty. A sister trope to Shirtless Captives (though the captive could end up both shirtless and barefoot). |

In Winds of Fate, part of Heralds of Valdemar, Nyara runs away from her father barefoot, and another character notes that the soles of her feet are tough enough that he doubts she's worn shoes often; fine indoors, but in the wilderness she finds herself in that's dicier. Later, because the feline aspects he gave her include claws on her hands and feet, she holes up in a tower that she climbs in and out of using her claws on gaps in the stone and has to get a knotted rope in the winter when it's so cold that she must clothe her feet. | |

Marisou in Black Paradox wears slippers when indoors in Dr. Suga's mansion, but after she discovers Suga's plans to harvest the paradoxical orbs, she attempts to flee from Suga before she's captured and subjected to Chained to a Bed, sans shoes. And spends maybe the remainder of the story until the last two chapters barefoot. | |

Andor reduces Cassian to this on Narkina 5, since incoming prisoners must relinquish their footwear before entering the complex. When inmates fall out of line, the wardens electrocute their unprotected soles through the conductive floor. They can even execute entire floors of prisoners this way. | |

In Command & Conquer: Generals, GLA Workers, who are implied to be slaves (judging by how one of their Stop Poking Me! quotes is to yelp in pain and agree to work), don't have shoes, and will ask for them. In the expansion kit, they get them (they're a researched upgrade that increases the Workers abysmal resource gathering rate and speed), and their voices are filled with palpable gratitude. | |

Max Payne 3: Fabiana was once kidnapped by the Comando Sombra in "Nothing But the Second Best"; she's still wearing shoes up to and including when she's bundled into the gang's helicopter, but all her subsequent appearances play the trope straight. Giovanna is kidnapped at the same time as Fabiana and is barefoot when brought up to the helicopter; given her earlier struggling and her quickly attempting a successful getaway as soon as the Comando Sombra mooks are momentarily distracted however, as well as her wearing less secure shoes than Fabiana's strappy heels, it can easily be an example of Losing a Shoe in the Struggle too. In "Here I Was Again, Halfway Down the World", two barefooted female NPCs, having presumably run out of a building without shoes or having lost them along the way (or simply being favela residents), are seen being made to get down on the ground by UFE forces and are later seen being forcibly marched behind a UFE vehicle. |

Inmates of Camp Omega in Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes are held in jumpsuits and bare feet, as are those prisoners held by the Soviets encountered in Afghanistan and the various South African mercenary groups encountered in Angola during Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. Quiet is an odd example; she's kept barefoot while caged between missions on Mother Base, but somehow hangs onto her boots when captured by the Soviets and made to look like any other Soviet prisoner. | |

In the Earthworm Jim graphic novel Fight The Fish!, Luana (AKA Princess What's-Her-Name) is kidnapped while barefoot. She stays this way throughout the entire story, even after changing out of her dress and into a jumpsuit. (Of course, the antagonist of the story is a fish with cat minions who don't wear shoes either, so it's unlikely they'd have any shoes to provide her with.) During her imprisonment, Luana meets another prisoner clad in the same kind of jumpsuit and with nothing on her feet; this turns out to be Luana's long-lost mother. | |

In an episode of Ghost Adventures set in the Shanghai Tunnels in Portland, Oregon it's explained that after being dropped through a trap door a target would have his shoes taken, and broken glass scattered around the tunnels meant the kidnappers could follow the blood trail if he got out of the cell. Eerily, the discarded shoes are still there in a pile over a century later. | |

Life Is Strange: One photograph of Rachel Amber's time in the Dark Room shows her like this. Since other people winding up in the Dark Room still wear their shoes, either she was wearing relatively loose shoes or it's another clue that she was taken to the Dark Room by Nathan rather than Mr. Jefferson. At one point during Max's endgame nightmare in "Polarized", she imagines herself ending up in the Dark Room while wearing her nightclothes from "Out of Time", resulting in this trope. |

Magi: Labyrinth of Magic: The reason Morgiana Prefers Going Barefoot is because she got used to being barefoot during her time as Jamil's slave. Also, she is a Kick Chick with Super-Strength. If she did wear shoes, they would be quickly destroyed every time she gets into a fight. | |

In King's Quest V, Princess Cassima is clad in rags and bare feet, while being held as a scullery girl by an evil wizard. She's also held captive in her bedroom, in King's Quest VI, though she's dressed in more elegant clothing and does appear to be wearing shoes (at least after she's taken from her room anyway). |

Dragon Jousters: Serfs such as Vetch aren't even allowed the cheap straw sandals given to slaves. The dragon-boys go barefoot on duty as well, but that's practicality rather than this trope — sandals would just get lost in the sand wallows. | |
