Magicians, sorcerers, mystics, characters with psychic powers, magical or divine/godlike qualities are frequently depicted as eschewing footwear. There are numerous reasons for this, which often overlap. First, such characters very often have a connection with nature, and draw their magic from it; in this case, footwear may even interfere with their powers. Second, if a character has some specific abilities (for instance, is immune to cold, able to levitate, or is a member of the undead), being barefoot may actually prove more comfortable and enjoyable than wearing shoes. Third, shoes and even clothes are symbolically seen as a boundary in numerous religious and esoteric teachings (this is Older Than Dirt: Adam and Eve were both nude and barefoot before the Fall); and since portraying an "enlightened" or "higher-than-human" character as nude may prove problematic, bare feet can be a good compromise. Finally, this may be a specific instance of Magical Minority Person. This usage is due to the fact that in earlier times lack of footwear was often associated with poverty, misery and mental instability, and nowadays it is a common attribute of nonconformism. A common character of this sort is a Magical Homeless Person or a New-Age Retro Hippie/Granola Girl who turns out to have genuine supernatural abilities. Very often overlaps with Barefoot Sage; also compare with Barefoot Loon and Bald Mystic. |

The Demon Buddhists sorcerers of Shutendoji wear either ankle wraps or nothing as footwear. Miyuki also becomes a momentary one in the OVA adaptation, as she has a mediumnic moment in Ongokukai after having traveled there in a kimono and bare feet. | |

Wonder Woman (2011): Greek Gods in the DC Universe during the New 52 can be distinguished by their lack of shoes; which seems to be their one physical constant (although the sea god Poseidon doesn't even have feet, being a chimera of sea creatures and Hermes has bird feet). Several of them (particularly the goddesses), barely wear any clothes at all. | |

The titular witch Zero from Grimoire of Zero has a fondness of feeling the dirt and grass under her bare feet, and readily walks everywhere barefooted until the third episode of the anime, when she gets new clothes at the insistence of the Mercenary. And even then, it takes a lot of convincing. | |

RWBY: Elm's footwear consists of shinpads that cover the top of her feet, and trouser bands that loop over the middle of her feet, leaving her toes, heels and most of the soles exposed despite the harsh climate of Solitas. She uses her feet to anchor herself when in battle by sheathing her feet in energy that plants her into the ground like the roots of a tree. When Penny Polendina, who had gained the Winter Maiden's powers, is turned into a human, her shoes and gloves disappear, leaving her barefoot for the rest of her screen time. |

At the end of Horse Girl, Sarah carefully removes her shoes before lying down on the ground and being beamed into the sky, suggesting she is preparing either to travel in time, or to return to the aliens for good. Due to the ambiguity of the situation, this action is suggestive of Barefoot Suicide as well. | |

Elden Ring definitely enjoys this trope. The uniform of the Academy of Raya Lucaria does not include footwear, so all of its scholars are barefoot. This includes the headmistress, who also happens to be the queen of the entire region the Academy is located in. She's not Modest Royalty either. Her robes are much more extravagant than the normal Academy robes and she wears a large crescent-moon-shaped crown, as well as actual pants as opposed to the cloth leg wraps the scholars wear, but still no footwear of any kind. | |

Chikara, the lovably kooky fortune teller from Scooby-Doo! and KISS: Rock and Roll Mystery, never wears shoes even when she goes outside of her tent. It doesn't seem to be a direct consequence of her magical abilities, but rather a distinctive trait that is meant to signify that she's somehow "different" from others (it may be Barefoot Sage, Barefoot Loon, or this trope - or all three). | |

Kagura from Inuyasha is a powerful sorceress and necromancer who has never worn a shoe, sandal, or sock in her life despite wearing elaborate and ornate kimonos. Both the manga and the anime adaptation love giving her feet close-ups now and again as Rumiko Takahashi has a well-known preference for drawing bare feet. Unlike most examples of this trope, she does actually walk on the ground (though she can fly atop her feather) - even in snow. | |

Avatar: The Last Airbender: Most Earthbenders from Avatar: The Last Airbender don't wear shoes because having a direct connection to the earth makes bending it much easier, though it's still possible otherwise. Toph, on the other hand, needs to be barefoot at all times, since she uses Earthbending to compensate for her blindness by feeling the vibrations in the ground, which get dampened considerably by shoes. When dressed in her Painted Lady disguise, Katara goes barefoot. This is less common in Sequel Series The Legend of Korra, but definitely still a thing; for example, the elder of Toph's two daughters wears boots with soles that can be retracted via metalbending, and Mama is no more fond of shoes at eighty-seven than she was at twelve. |

Gushing over Magical Girls: Sister Gigant is barefoot when she transforms into her magical girl form. Her powers in this form include Sizeshifter, Super-Strength, and Super-Toughness, which is why she doesn't hurt her feet when she stomps around in giant form. | |

EDENS ZERO: Rebecca's Ether Gear causes all the Ether in her body to accumulate at her feet, forcibly rendering her barefoot. To prevent its destruction, she later gets into the habit of preemptively removing all footwear before activating her Ether Gear. Additionally, her Overdrive leaves her barefoot. | |

Elika in Prince of Persia (2008) is a Non-Player Companion who handles all things magical for the Prince. Unlike him, she never wears shoes, which is strongly implied to be a consequence of her magic coming from the land itself, as her most powerful ability (to cleanse entire areas of the game of The Corruption) manifests itself as Fertile Feet. Several of her alternate costumes have shoes, though. | |

Kill Six Billion Demons: When he's not Dream Walking in flamboyant style, the God-Emperor Incubus appears in a simple white robe and bare, muddy feet. The mud is from his citadel, a pit where people who accepted his Deal with the Devil and were destroyed by their own ambitions now live in squalid delirium. | |

Lord Voldemort from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire doesn't wear shoes after his resurrection, implying that he now is an unhuman being who has no need for them. This trope is frequently used for characters who are somehow "above human" (magically gifted, enlightened or godlike), but in his case it indicates that he descended below human condition due to his dark magical practices and the destruction of his soul. | |

DuckTales examples: DuckTales (1987): In "Home Sweet Homer", the only time Circe wears shoes is when she's shapeshifted to resemble someone else. DuckTales (2017): Magica DeSpell turns out to be one in this series after she gets her body back, contrasting with her high heel-wearing earlier incarnations. |

Dragon Age II: Merrill is a mage with a strong connection to the earth and nature, and her unique abilities include sinking into the ground, traveling through solid surface, and appearing in an entirely different place—which may have "Never Wear Shoes" as a requirement, since she keeps stalwartly ignoring footwear even as she upgrades her other protective gear. All the Dalish elves have this trait, whether or not they are practicing magicians. Given that the Dalish uphold traditions that the humans have tried to crush, however, this may be affectation in Merrill's tribe. |

Vampires in The Saga of Darren Shan have extremely sharp fingernails and toenails — sharp enough to climb walls and mountains with no equipment — so shoes can often get torn. This is rarely mentioned in the book, but the manga adaptation frequently shows vampires barefoot in their stronghold, Vampire Mountain. They are required to travel to the mountain by walking barefoot through harsh, frozen landscapes impassable to humans. | |
