This character tries to avoid wearing shoes whenever possible. The reasons for this vary greatly, some of which are common enough to be tropes of their own: Barefoot Loon: As a sign of eccentricity or absent-mindedness. Bunny Ears Lawyers and Cloudcuckoolanders may go barefoot in public because they are either flouting societal conventions or are simply oblivious to them. Barefoot Sage: Enlightened sages and eccentric mentors, for the reason that they know and see more than everyone else does, and are just too wise to care about said social conventions. This may also be a form of religious asceticism. Earthy Barefoot Character: To show that they are connected to the soil in some way. This may overlap with other subtropes if they have elemental or nature-linked powers that are weakened or neutralised if they don't have skin contact with the ground, but it's frequently just a metaphor. Most often though, this is simply the rural character who just enjoys feeling nature. The Nature Hero, Barbarian Hero, Noble Savage, Hot Gypsy Woman, Jungle Princess and Tarzan Boy are almost always barefoot. Magical Barefooter: Characters with magical powers sometimes go barefoot — this may be because they need contact with the soil for their powers, because they are invulnerable to injury or soiling, to demonstrate their lack of interest in social conventions, or to demonstrate their "higher being" status. Surefooted Barefooter: When a character prefers going barefoot because it allows for unhindered agility; typically associated with stealthy, instinctive or resilient characters. Martial Artists Are Always Barefoot: Martial artists are often portrayed as being habitually barefoot even in non-combat situations. Undead Barefooter: Undead characters may go barefoot, either to dramatize their inhumanity and/or because they don't feel pain or cold and are thus unconcerned about the comfort of their feet. This is also sometimes a sign of youthful innocence or vulnerability, and many of the characters who demonstrate this trope are either children or childlike. The lack of shoes may also be used as an indication of untamed ruggedness. This trope is often used in visual media as an excuse to show frequent close-up shots of bare feet, usually due to Fanservice or Author Appeal (or both if you're Quentin Tarantino or Joss Whedon), which may explain why female barefooters outnumber males practically 2-1, or why their feet are very rarely visibly dirty or calloused. Conversely, there's a little bit of Truth in Television here; women are more likely to go barefoot than men in a given context. Characters may end up barefoot due to circumstances beyond their control (Barefoot Captives, Barefoot Poverty, etc.), which is not this trope, unless they develop the preference for going barefoot if they enjoyed their shoeless experience. Downplayed, but still broadly applicable, if a character has a notable preference for open-toed (or especially open-arched) footwear like sandals or flip-flops, particularly in circumstances when others usually put on closed shoes or boots (like in cold weather or on formal occasions); this version is often used to still convey the essence of the trope while sidestepping questions of practicality. Does not apply if none of the characters wear shoes and the work portrays a society or setting where shoes don't even exist. Contrast The One Who Wears Shoes, wherein a character is the only one to wear shoes in a world of barefooters (usually Barefoot Cartoon Animals). And no, it is not this trope if a character only is only barefoot at common times. Being barefoot in the shower, in bed, or at the beach/swimming pool, or wearing sandals on a hot day are not examples of this trope. The character must be shown to specifically enjoy being barefoot and exploit any opportunity to do so, especially at times and in places you would otherwise expect one to wear shoes. |

Dodger of Press Heart To Continue prefers to walk everywhere barefoot. She's admitted frequently on camera she loves being barefoot all the time, even when told she needs shoes onset or wandering over hot concrete. She'll even opt for bare feet in the snow. And rather adorably, her husband is just as much of a barefooter as she is. | |

Shaka Zulu. The young Shaka complains that his army sandals impede him on the battlefield, and demonstrates his lack of need for them by grinding out a flaming stick with his foot while sneering contemptuously. When he's put in charge of training an army, he makes them go barefoot too, running them for miles until they have callused soles like he does. | |

Zig-zagged in the 1995 film Tom and Huck. Tom wore shoes for most of the movie even though the character commonly goes barefoot in the books, supposedly at actor Jonathan Taylor Thomas' insistence so that he wouldn't hurt himself on the outdoor sets. Meanwhile, Huck's actor Brad Renfro had no problem with it because he was a proud country boy from Tennessee who was already used to being barefoot most of the time. In fact, when Huck gets taken in by an elderly widow at the end of the movie, shoes are part of his new civilized look that Tom hates. | |

Eli in Let the Right One In doesn't wear shoes as a rule, even when in the snow. Of course, she's a vampire and as she explains to Oskar she doesn't get cold. As well, not wearing shoes makes it easier for her to climbs things like trees and walls. | |

In the Kid Icarus: Uprising fanfic Angel Sandals'', Pit explains that while he has closed-toe footwear for some occasions, he prefers to wear sandals almost everywhere he goes. This is because they give his feet both comfort and protection and the freedom to wiggle his bare toes whenever he pleases. He goes on to talk about the benefits he gets from wearing sandals, one of them that he really loves the most is having his exposed toes subjected to a Friendly Tickle Torture by pretty girls. By the same creator, there's even a list of the different sandals Pit owns, explaining their different types. |

DuckTales (2017): While the majority of the cast are Barefoot Cartoon Animals as usual, Dewey is the first to explicitly state that he does not like wearing shoes, after trying out a pair.

Marine, the protagonist of the Undertale webcomic "The First Human'' takes off her boots shortly before falling into the Underground, and spends the rest of her adventure barefoot, much to the confusion of Flowey and other monsters. In a Q&A, Marine states that she feels more connected to the earth while barefoot, hence why she did it. Although it proves to be a test for her when traveling through Snowdin. | |

The Séance from The Umbrella Academy, but in an odd forgettable comment in the Dallas arc, it's because he can't use his powers when wearing them. Granted, this does come from a psychotic assassin in a dog head, but in that time, Seance doesn't really try to fight back, so his powers are probably at least inhibited. | |

Mary of Hi I'm Mary Mary is almost always barefoot. The only time she dons footwear of her own volition is a single occasion of her wearing socks in order to relieve her boredom by sliding across the hardwood floor of the house, and she takes them off once she's gotten bored of that too. She does wear boots when in the Garden, but they are part of an automatic Instant Costume Change that happens to her upon entering it. She does not seem to actually own any part of her "Garden outfit" since she can't find any of it in the house. Fittingly, in the ending she puts on her boots, getting ready to leave the house. | |

Marvel Cinematic Universe: The Avengers and Iron Man 3: After Pepper Potts starts a relationship with Tony, she's often seen being barefoot once they start living together. Along with her more casual clothes, it's a sign of how they're able to relax around each other. (The practical reason for this is that Gwyneth Paltrow is taller than Robert Downey Jr. especially with heels and the filmmakers will take what they can get to keep them in frame together. It also prevents her high heels from getting in the way when she wears the Mark 42 armor in Iron Man 3.) Thor goes barefoot in the Team Thor series of Thor: Ragnarok viral promos, whenever unwinding at his roommate Darryl's house. The second video briefly shows that Thor does have slippers while staying there, but Team Thor never shows him wearing them. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness: Wanda Earth-838 counterpart spends most of her screen time barefoot. |

Avatar: The Last Airbender: Being a blind Earthbender, Toph uses the vibrations in the ground to sense around her. Toph does not like wearing shoes or having her feet touched, because doing so affects her vision. When she does have to wear shoes as a disguise, she kicks their soles off so her feet still make direct contact with the ground. Earthbenders in general tend to be averse to footwear, beyond sole-less coverings for the top of their feet. All Earthbenders seem unperturbed by rough terrain and a large portion of their bending is based on stances and foot work to manipulate the earth. |

Kevin Von Erich wrestled barefoot for most of his career. He has said in interviews that it was because the boots he bought for his first match didn't fit quite right and there was no time to find or borrow a replacement pair, and from there, it just became his trademark. | |

Antimony Carver from Gunnerkrigg Court (picture above) just prefers to get her feet dirty from time to time. Surprisingly, the dirt on her bare feet is actually depicted at times, versus most fiction where the barefoot character's feet remain sparkly clean. | |

In Bell, Book and Candle, Hot Witch Gillian Holroyd (played by Kim Novak) is a Magical Barefooter who goes barefoot in just about every indoor scene, and some of the outdoor ones as well. At one point in the movie, an old classmate claims that she came to college that way (until said classmate ratted her out to the dean, earning herself a fantastic curse in retribution). Here, it's a matter of style/statement. At that time, going barefoot was associated with Beatniks and bohemian types. When Gillian loses her powers, she undergoes Chickification and begins to wear shoes indoors. | |

In Red and Rover, this is definitely the case with Red in all the summer strips. One has him announcing it's summer vacation to his dog, Rover. Rover bounds to meet him, knocking Red's shoes and socks off in the process, and his thought bubble is "Whaddya wanna do first?" Red's reply is "Trade my shoes and socks for a pair of bare feet." Another one has him taking his shoes, socks, and shirt off, saying "Summer vacation, it is here!" Another has him ripping his shoes, socks, shirt, and even trousers off, revealing his swimming costume, saying he certainly is prepared for summer vacation. And yet another has him going to the shoe shop, saying shoes feel odd, and his mum saying any shoes would, as he's spent the entire summer barefoot. | |

In Happy Death Day, Tree goes barefoot often - sometimes while relaxing in her room, and other times leaving Carter's dorm in the morning without ever putting her shoes on. In one occasion, she even tosses her shoes away as soon as she steps outside, before happily going about her routine. | |

Dark Shadows: The movie adaptation from the series, have Carolyn Stoddard. She doesn't wear shoes in the movie, and she's always in bare feet or long socks. It's later revealed that she's a werewolf, and her feet transforms into a wolf-like digitigrade legs. Curiously, she is the only werewolf in Dark Shadows to be female and barefoot, as the other werewolves from the franchise (that don't appear in the movie) are males and used shoes. | |

Her reaction when Jason and Brett make her wear boots (to draw less attention when she first walks into ORCA) is "Do I have to wear them?" Later, it turns out all of her race don't wear anything on their feet, as it would impede their ability to swim. | |

Both Swift and Jack Hawksmoor of Stormwatch and The Authority rarely wear shoes, as she has flight powers and the ability to turn her feet into bird-like talons, and he has powers derived from urban environments and needs to stay in skin contact with the ground or buildings. Jack Hawksmoor's alterations to be fully adapted to city living include "metallic" appearing foot soles, allowing him to walk on any city surface comfortably (concrete, asphalt, etc). | |

Tangled: The Series calls a lot more attention to Rapunzel's preference for going barefoot everywhere than the original movie did (which mentioned it a grand total of once, and even then not explicitly). "The Way of the Willow" introduces Rapunzel's aunt Willow, who shares a great many personality traits with her, including going barefoot. Another episode featured O.O.C. Is Serious Business, where Rapunzel willingly wearing shoes is a sign to Eugene that something is very wrong. By the final season, she's even stopped wearing them in the snow (or any other winter clothing for that matter, just wearing her standard Limited Wardrobe instead) while in the earlier seasons she would bundle up and put on some boots. | |

Several of the children in Craig of the Creek go barefoot: The Scratchless One, who indeed doesn't wear much of anything. Roger the Bridge Troll. Trolls don't wear shoes, after all. Wildernessa, who styles herself as a Nature Hero - though she does wear proper footwear in cold weather. The Sewer Queen, which makes sense considering she and her subjects always play in the water. Zoe, the guardian of Cardboard City. Even in the flashback of her first meeting with Carter, she was barefoot. The Muddy Buddies. Again, shoes would mostly get in the way when playing with mud. |

Cricket on Big City Greens hates wearing shoes. Even at a dance, when he's otherwise in formal wear, he's barefoot. The only time he willingly wears shoes is in cold weather, treating it the same as wearing a jacket, or when playing a specific sport such as football or baseball. This becomes a major plot point in the Season 3 episode "No Service", as it prevents him from entering Sip 'n Snak. He even claims this as a principle in his life and he only wears them for needed events such as in the snow or playing ball. When he borrows Tilly's shoes to get the free drink he wanted, he realizes he can't break this principle and denies the drink. | |

Granted, she's only ever seen in her physical form at her home or, later, a hospital bed, where it's not atypical, but her character sheet explicitly notes she "likes to go barefoot", implying it's more than that. In addition, Nicole also goes barefoot, as per the character's original design, while Tikal and Scourge lose the shoes from their original designs. | |

Eurovision Song Contest: The winner in 1967, British singer Sandie Shaw, tended to go barefoot both on stage and off. Her detractors thought this was a marketing gimmick, but Sandie claimed she did it because she was afraid of tripping over wires. The winners of the 2012 and 2013 Eurovision contests, Swedish Loreen and Danish Emmelie de Forest respectively, also performed barefoot when they won. The latter had claimed singing barefoot was her style as it made her feel closer to nature and more relaxed. Loreen once again peformed barefoot when she returned to, and won, the contest in 2023. |

Sette Frummagen from Unsounded remains barefoot from the first panel where she appears and on. No one really cares enough to bring it up. Word of God states that street children from Sette's hometown of Hanghorse go barefoot habitually, out of a combination of poverty, comfort, stealth, emulation of the sailors they see in the port, and because wearing shoes before winter is likely to get you beaten up by the other kids for "putting on airs". Even though Sette's Da makes plenty of money and is more than able to afford shoes for her, he doesn't want her growing up feeling superior. Plus, Sette just doesn't like wearing shoes at this point. | |

The Avengers and Iron Man 3: After Pepper Potts starts a relationship with Tony, she's often seen being barefoot once they start living together. Along with her more casual clothes, it's a sign of how they're able to relax around each other. (The practical reason for this is that Gwyneth Paltrow is taller than Robert Downey Jr. especially with heels and the filmmakers will take what they can get to keep them in frame together. It also prevents her high heels from getting in the way when she wears the Mark 42 armor in Iron Man 3.) | |

Star Trek: The Animated Series introduces Lt. M'Ress, a Cat Folk alien who joins the Enterprise crew. She exemplies this trope as well as Barefoot Cartoon Animal; the official explanation is that she doesn't need (or want) footwear because of her thick pawpads, although the animators don't bother drawing them when her soles are visible. | |

In Dumbing of Age, Sierra doesn't wear shoes. When Joyce first notices she's barefoot and asks how long that's been the case, Sierra says since sixth grade. She's the Dumbiverse counterpart of an It's Walky! character known only as Tootsi, who was played for fanservice. (Tootsi was a member of SEMME's Squadron 48, the entire joke of which was that they consisted entirely of highly-sexed bisexual girls and Joe.) | |

In Rise of the Guardians, Jack Frost walks barefoot, leaving frozen patches on the ground where he walks. When offered a pair of blue elf shoes (with bells) from an elf, Jack cringes and stops the Guardian initiation ceremony immediately. Near the end of the story, it is revealed that he walked on ice barefoot even as a human. | |

The natives on Mike, Lu & Og don't have access to shoes, until one episode where a crate of them washes up on shore and they go nuts for them. The shoes end up causing them problems, so they give them up. Mike, on the other hand, is a Tomboy and therefore doesn't like shoes (in the sense that All Women Love Shoes), but other than in the aforementioned episode, she is the only one who actually wears them. | |

Eureka Seven: Paradox Makers: Claire Hannah is a Played for Drama example: she used to like shoes, but grew adverse to footwear when the sale of a pair of limited edition superhero boots made her neglect her grandmother, who collapsed in her garden, and shortly afterward died on Claire's high school graduation day. Now, she associates her guilt with shoes, and when Claire is alone or relaxing, she prefers to be strictly barefoot. | |

Firefly foot story focuses on this aspect of River's character. Upon realizing she's the only woman onboard Serenity with an interest in walking barefoot, River gets the idea to steal every piece of footwear that she, Kaylee, Inara and Zoe own and throw them out the airlock. When the other three women realize they're stuck being barefoot for an entire month, they're initially annoyed and uncomfortable, but by the end, all three women admit that they're enjoying being barefoot. | |

Tangled: Rapunzel is of the youthful innocence variety, plus she never needed shoes due to never leaving her tower. Interestingly, no one in the entire film comments on it, aside from Mother Gothel pointing a mirror down at Rapunzel's bare feet and commenting that she's "underdressed" — causing Rapunzel to immediately pull the bottom of her dress down over her feet. (There's considerably more lampshading in Tangled: The Series since she's a royal princess who spends time outside and yet never wears proper shoes.) She didn't even wear shoes to her wedding in Tangled Ever After, electing to get married barefoot (as the concept art and storybook version reveal. In the short film itself, her dress is too long to tell.) The later storybook Ghosts of Christmas Past then shows that while she'll shun shoes most of the time, she'll renege to them if it calls for walking in snow. Ironically, one bit of early concept art shows Rapunzel with shoes... however, in the artwork, she's shown kicking them off her feet. In Ralph Breaks the Internet her comfy outfit includes sneakers. |

Peter Griffin from Family Guy went through this as a phase, going as far as to refer to shoes as "foot prisons". Since it was a Cutaway Gag, though, it's unknown if it actually happened. | |

Barefoot, a Foreign Remake of the German film Barfuss', naturally features this. Here, it's the Manic Pixie Dream Girl Daisy, who insists shoes hurt her feet. This is the least of her many crazy quirks. | |

Agador/Spartacus, the houseboy in The Birdcage (the American remake of La Cage aux folles), does not wear shoes because they make him fall down. His employer, Armand, scoffs at this, but it turns out he is telling the truth as he slips and falls at least once. Armand and Albert don't seem to care, or even notice, that he's barefoot until they're about to have company, which is when their son Val insists he wears the shoes. | |

In her human form, Ariel from The Little Mermaid goes barefoot more often than she wears shoes, both in the movies and the spinoff books. Her daughter Melody in the sequel is also a dedicated barefooter, only wearing shoes when she's forced to. | |

Aki from The Second Try is noted by her parents as hating footwear of any kind, to the point that they gave up trying to force her unless it was absolutely necessary. This comes up as a gag in the sequel comic Aki-chan's Life when they have to put her shoes on when she starts attending kindergarten, though later chapters imply that she's at least learned to tolerate it. | |
