Barefoot Poverty	comment	A character appears barefoot as a sign of their poverty. Usually, the camera will linger on their feet to emphasize the lack of shoes. Bonus points if they are shown walking in the snow and shivering from the cold. A common variation includes a shot of them looking at a pair of new shoes with longing. Often used to make the character seem like a woobie. Originally, nobody wore shoes until humans began moving into cooler climates, and then shoes were only worn when required by the weather. In the last thousand years, shoes gained prevalence through their association with status. Making shoes requires skill and wearing them meant you were above such things as walking on the ground. Thus those who wore shoes were the nobility, and those who aspired to be nobility (this is also how foot binding became so popular in China). Urbanization is another factor; going barefoot in a pastoral setting is one thing, but cobblestone streets can cut and abrade one's feet severely. These are the same factors that led to the development of the horseshoe. It may seem strange nowadays, but being barefoot is entirely natural and was once completely normal in all cultures. While many cultures have yet to fully adopt the idea that walking barefoot is somehow shameful, those that never wear shoes have shrunk to small and usually isolated communities. Some cultures, such as the Maori, have a strong historical and social emphasis on walking barefoot and Maori schools often require children to not wear shoes. Prefers Going Barefoot may be a result of this if the character manages to get out of their poverty, or remain in poverty but claim to enjoy being barefoot anyway. A Sister Trope to Bankruptcy Barrel, Hobo Gloves and Pauper Patches. Compare Earthy Barefoot Character, Barefoot Sage, Barefoot Loon, Magical Barefooter, and Undead Barefooter. Examples

Barefoot Poverty / int_1cc09117	comment	Bleach: Several shinigami from the poorest districts of the Rukongai grew up barefoot because of the poverty in which they lived, including: Rukia and Renji (both from District 78), Yachiru (from District 79) and Kenpachi (from District 80). In the anime, Ikkaku is included in this, although the manga never confirms whether this is true or not. Becomes a plot point during the final arc: The denizens of Soul Society's worst districts are disappearing en masse, leaving only footprints, including some shoe prints. It's revealed that people who live within Districts 60-80 are so poverty stricken, none have been known to wear shoes for 550 years. This clues in Lieutenant Kira to the fact that the initial conclusion that villagers killed each other is wrong, and in reality, entire villages are being slaughtered by Shinigami. Thanks to Kira's revelation, it's discovered that, because a huge number of hollows were annihilated by Quincies, Mayuri's men comitted mass murder to avoid a pan-dimensional disaster that could destroy entire worlds: killing spirit-dwelling villagers counter-balanced the destroyed hollows in a case of Balancing Death's Books.

In traditional Jewish law, going shoeless, even indoors, is considered undignified; it's permissible only on major fast days and when in mourning. In the Book of Exodus, there was a law that stated that if a man died without any male heirs, his widow was to marry his brother, and the brother would carry on the family line for him via the first son he had with her. If the man refused the marriage, she was to publicly humiliate him (and all his descendants and relatives) by removing his sandals, spitting on him, and publicly declaring that he refused to do his duty to his family and society. Because of the shame, it would lead to ostracism and financial ruin for him, and he would never live it down.

Barefoot Poverty / int_d908efc	comment	Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba: A few cases are seen in the series through the cast's tragic backstories, the most emotionally charged being Kanao's past as she lived in extreme misery with abhorrent parents who physically abused all of their children, many of them to death. Other than Kanao, there was Zenitsu who lived as a wandering orphan when he was little, the orphan children Gyomei raised when he was just a monk, and so on.

Barefoot Poverty / int_df2122ef	comment	In Little House in Brookfield (the first book in "The Caroline Years," a prequel series to the Little House on the Prairie books and about Laura Ingalls' mother growing up) Caroline's oldest sister goes to church barefoot one day because the family is too poor to buy her new shoes and the old ones pinch her feet something terrible. She thinks her new long dress will cover up her shoeless feet, and she's right for most of the time but eventually gets caught. Her parents are not pleased.

Given that she's only in her early teens, it's unlikely that there are any footwear belonging to soldiers that are her size for her to wear.
