| 21 | {{Funny Animal}}s have differing levels of clothing, sometimes even between different characters in the same work. You've got your {{Accessory Wearing Cartoon Animal}}s, who are basically naked except for one or two token items. There are also {{Half Dressed Cartoon Animal}}s, who wear a shirt ''or'' pants, but not both. There are even {{Fully Dressed Cartoon Animal}}s who have complete outfits. And then there's the subject of this article -- cartoon animals who are ''almost'' fully clothed by human standards, but who go barefoot (or bare-''pawed'', if you want to get technical). These are furry characters who don't just remove their footwear for specific occasions (like sleeping or swimming), but go barefoot ''all the time'', even during activities where humans would normally wear shoes -- walking around town, working, shopping, going on adventures, etc. |
| 22 | |
| 23 | As the sheer number of examples demonstrates, this is a common trope in works featuring funny animals. Here are some possible reasons: |
| 24 | |
| 25 | * The trope may be {{Justified|Trope}} by the characters having hooves, large claws, or oddly-shaped hind paws which it would be difficult for shoes to accommodate. |
| 26 | * The trope may also be {{Justified|Trope}} by the characters being from a culture where shoes aren't seen as a social requirement, such as with Creator/JRRTolkien's {{hobbits}}, or are from a civilization that PrefersGoingBarefoot as a part of its cultural code. |
| 27 | * There's another possible explanation for this, more or less based in RuleOfPerception: Generally, anthropomorphic animals (especially of the BeastMan variety) have essentially human anatomy except for their heads, tails, and (in most cases) feet, so keeping all three of those elements exposed emphasizes their animal qualities and prevents them from [[UncannyValley appearing too human]]. (It's not unreasonable to think, for example, that long pants made for anthropomorphic animals would have long sleeves to accommodate their tails as well, but strangely, almost nobody ever depicts such a thing.) |
| 28 | * Shoes can be deceptively complex to draw and people often don't pay much attention to them anyway. This is especially true for modern tennis shoes, which usually have multiple colors, complex textures, and logos. In many art styles, paws are actually far less complicated to draw. See FurriesAreEasierToDraw. |
| 29 | |
| 30 | Spats without shoes or socks count as this trope because they do not cover the soles of the feet. These may also indicate that the funny animal who wears them is [[ConspicuousConsumption particularly wealthy]]. |
| 31 | |
| 32 | TheOneWhoWearsShoes is about {{inversion}}s of this trope, especially {{Civilized Animal}}s and {{Funny Animal}}s who use footwear when going barefoot is normal for the setting. |
| 33 | |
| 34 | Barefoot cartoon animals are usually of the FunnyAnimal or BeastMan tier, but any tier of the SlidingScaleOfAnthropomorphism can apply. |
| 35 | |
| 36 | A lot of {{Accessory Wearing Cartoon Animal}}s and {{Half Dressed Cartoon Animal}}s ''also'' happen to be barefoot; to keep things cleaner, this page only covers barefoot characters who are otherwise properly-dressed. |
| 37 | |
| 38 | This trope also applies to any non-human character, such as aliens and monsters. |
| 39 | |
| 40 | Most of these characters have HumanlikeFootAnatomy. |

| 90 | * Taomon and Doumon from ''Anime/DigimonTamers'', fox people in the Renamon line, are both fully clothed in onmyōji getup, except for the paws. |
| 91 | * [[Characters/DragonBallFrieza Freeza]], one of the {{Big Bad}}s of ''Franchise/DragonBall'', and his father King Cold are two alien examples. They wear sci-fi battle uniforms, but no shoes like the other characters. Of course, their feet wouldn't really ''fit'' into most shoes. |
| 92 | * Many characters from ''Manga/FairyTail'' belonging to the feline Exceed race go barefoot despite otherwise wearing full outfits, notably Carla (until the Edolas Arc, where she started wearing either shoes or pantyhose on a more consistent basis) and Queen Shagotte. There are some exceptions though, such as Panther Lily (who tends to be a WalkingShirtlessScene), Lector (who [[HalfDressedCartoonAnimal wears a vest but no pants]]), and Happy (who is usually an AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal, but occasionally wears full outfits). |

| 94 | %% * Punch the Bear from the classic ''Anime/HustlePunch'' series. |
| 95 | %% * Several animal characters from ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohay%C5%8D!_Spank Hello! Spank]]'' when in costume. |
| 96 | * Zorori the fox from ''Literature/KaiketsuZorori'', in his regular traveling outfit, wears traditional Japanese peasant clothing (shirt, pants, cloak, Asian conical hat) but goes barefoot. Comparatively, his prankster outfit is fully outfitted with boots. |
| 97 | * Blinky and Pinky from ''Anime/TheNoozles'', as well as the other koala characters, do not wear shoes |
| 98 | * ''Manga/OnePiece'': Tony Tony Chopper, a reindeer who can [[VoluntaryShapeshifting shift at will between various more-or-less-anthropomorphic forms]], tends to be about as fully-dressed as any of the human crew depending on circumstances (often skipping a shirt in hot weather, etc), but he always skips footwear even when fully clothed otherwise. |
| 99 | * PlayedForDrama in ''Manga/ThePromisedNeverland''. At first, the kids think Mujika is another human, but when they see [[WhamShot her six-toed monster foot peeking out from under her cloak]], they realize she's actually one of the creatures known as "demons". |

| 111 | * In ''ComicBook/AmericanBornChinese'', [[Literature/JourneyToTheWest The Monkey King]] is prevented from entering the celestial dinner party because he wears no shoes, whereupon he strives to make himself more human-like in his dress and appearance. It's notable that many of the other animals who were let in, like dragons and fish, actually wear worse shoes. |
| 112 | * Sam Simeon, the [[CivilizedAnimal gorilla gumshoe]] of ''ComicBook/AngelAndTheApe'' fame, usually appears shoeless in a suit and tie. |
| 113 | %% * The male characters in ''ComicBook/AssociatedStudentBodies''. |
| 114 | * Gary Hampton, the main protagonist of ''ComicBook/TheAstoundingWolfMan'', wears a combat suit with open-toed foot coverings while in his werewolf form. |

| 116 | * The Croconoids from the first ''ComicBook/ClemHetherington'' book. They're fully-dressed except for their lack of shoes. |
| 117 | %% * The titular character from ''ComicBook/DestroyerDuck''. |
| 118 | * The anthro characters in ''ComicBook/{{Extinctioners}}'' usually go barefoot despite being fully-clothed otherwise. While the heroes originally had regular boots as part of their uniforms, in later designs they switch to toeless boots a la the cast of ''Franchise/{{Naruto}}''. |
| 119 | * Some characters from ''ComicBook/FritzTheCat'' wear clothes without shoes. Fritz himself is a HalfDressedCartoonAnimal. |
| 120 | * ComicBook/RocketRaccoon from ''ComicBook/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'' and its various adaptations. His default outfit is a space adventurer suit that leaves his hindpaws exposed. |
| 121 | * ComicBook/HowardTheDuck was originally a HalfDressedCartoonAnimal, but when Creator/{{Disney}} complained about his (alleged) resemblance to WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck, he was given pants (but not shoes). |
| 122 | * Honey Bunny of ''ComicBook/LooneyTunes'' comic books, the precursor to WesternAnimation/LolaBunny. Like her successor, she's a barefooter but otherwise fully clothed. |
| 123 | * Sylvester Shyster from the WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse comics has appeared with a long overcoat, crooked top hat and spats on his feet. More recent incarnations of the character have appeared [[FullyDressedCartoonAnimal fully clothed with shoes]]. |
| 124 | * The cast of ''ComicBook/OmahaTheCatDancer'' are fully clothed but barefoot. However, their feet appear atypically human for anthro animals, looking less like paws than three-toed human feet. |
| 125 | %% * Though he started out [[HalfDressedCartoonAnimal with just shorts]] in his animated cartoons, the silver-age version of WesternAnimation/OswaldTheLuckyRabbit had a sports coat and trousers for his wardrobe. |
| 126 | * Sam the dog from ''ComicBook/SamAndMaxFreelancePolice'' dresses like a cop from TheFifties, wearing a [[SignatureHeadgear fedora]] and old-fashioned suit, but forgoes footwear. |

| 128 | * ''ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogArchieComics'': |
| 129 | ** Several characters go barefoot, including a fair portion of the main cast (Rotor, Bunnie pre-and-post-roboticization, Dulcy, Nicole when in furry form, even Tails when he was very little) and a great deal of minor and background characters (Rosemary Prower, the alien Ceneca-9009). Official, straight-from-the-game characters generally end up as [[TheOneWhoWearsShoes the ones who wear shoes]] in all cases, albeit not the only ones. |
| 130 | ** After the second [[CosmicRetcon Genesis Wave]] that began ''ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogMegaManWorldsCollide'' effectively rebooted the universe, everyone who had previously regularly gone barefoot now regularly wears shoes, including Rotor, Nicole and Bunnie (who regained her robotic limbs, but whose robotic feet now look more like white, pink-striped boots). However, another barefooter, a FishPerson named Coral the Betta, was introduced later on, in issue #260, as part of a ''VideoGame/SonicUnleashed'' adaptation. |
| 131 | * ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'': The Lizard, the SuperPoweredEvilSide of scientist Curt Connors. The Lizard's usual outfit consists of a tattered lab coat, a black shirt, purple pants, and bare feet. |
| 132 | * In ''ComicBook/TheSpiffyAdventuresOfMcConey'', Lapinot has long rabbit paws and does not wear shoes, unlike the other characters. |
| 133 | * The entire cast of ''ComicBook/SunnyvilleStories''; nobody wears shoes, but they do wear clothing. |
| 134 | * Gill Girl from the 2003 ''ComicBook/TeenTitansGo'' comic wears only a bathing suit. Hardly surprising, considering that she's a [[FishPeople Fish Person]] with webbed feet. |
| 135 | * The [[BeastMan anthropomorphic animals]] of ''ComicBook/ToothAndClaw'' don't wear shoes, even though some have human-like feet. |
| 136 | %% * [[CivilizedAnimal Genetically enhanced chimp]] Dr. Phinneus Pogo from ''ComicBook/TheUmbrellaAcademy''. Pogo appears in a full suit, necktie and eyeglasses. |

| 140 | %% * Sgt. Snorkel's identically dressed pet dog Otto from ''ComicStrip/BeetleBailey''. |
| 141 | %% * ''Webcomic/DocRat'' and most of the supporting anthro characters in this self-titled Australian comic series. |
| 142 | %% * Fritz the Dog from ''ComicStrip/InkPen''. Fritz is so uptight that he wears a dress shirt and tie with black pants every single day. This was a problem when he worked as a stunt double for other cartoon dogs like ComicStrip/{{Marmaduke}} or Franchise/ScoobyDoo where he would wear a furry dog suit because he refused to do "nude scenes". |
| 143 | * P.T. Bridgeport, the fast-talking show-bear of the classic ''ComicStrip/{{Pogo}}'' series, eventually became this during the latter half of his tenure. He started out with a [[HalfDressedCartoonAnimal partial barker's outfit]] consisted of a hat, a coat, necktie, white gloves, and spats, but no shoes. A wardrobe upgrade in later years included a shirt, a splashy vest and some trousers. He still wore his spats barefoot in the comics and other published works. Also applicable to this trope are feline hillbillies Wiley Catt and Simple J. Malarkey. Barnstable Bear (who usually just wears pants and a checkered cap) had a few seasonal outfits that fit this trope as well. |
| 144 | %% * Most characters from ''ComicStrip/SlylockFox''. |

| 148 | * This becomes a DiscussedTrope in the {{Crossover}} fanfic ''Fanfic/BasilsAmericanTail'', which brings together ''WesternAnimation/TheGreatMouseDetective'' and ''WesternAnimation/AnAmericanTail''. FullyDressedCartoonAnimal Basil of Baker Street reviews one of the [[CultureClash cultural differences]] between British and American mice with his new friend, Nellie Brie: |
| 149 | -->'''Basil:''' I don't know what it is with you Americans and your aversion to shoes.\ |
| 150 | '''Nellie:''' Oh don't be such a snob. Besides, shoes are for humans.\ |
| 151 | '''Basil:''' I'll have you know that every good detective needs a nice pair of shoes if they want to make their footprints less identifiable. |
| 152 | ** Later, Basil finds himself forced to admit to Nellie that "being in our natural barefoot state does have its advantages when you're climbing about." |
| 153 | *** The trope is also mentioned in the sequel, ''Fanfic/OliviaGoesWest'': |
| 154 | ---->"[Olivia] had trouble walking down the road barefoot, being pained by little pebbles. She didn't know how Fievel did it." |
| 155 | %% * Played with in the ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' fic ''Fanfic/BecomingPonies'' by Pinkie Pie's counterpart. He identifies the rubber circlets around his forehooves as spats, but it's pretty clear he's being sarcastic. |
| 156 | * In the ''WesternAnimation/ChipNDaleRescueRangers'' fan comic ''Webcomic/OfMiceAndMayhem'', Foxglove the bat (who doesn't wear clothes in canon) now wears a tank top and cargo pants, but remains barefoot. |
| 157 | %% * The trolls from the ''WesternAnimation/MonstersUniversity'' fic ''Fanfic/PostMULifeScream''. |
| 158 | [[/folder]] |
| 159 | |
| 160 | [[folder:Films -- Animation]] |
| 161 | * The White Rabbit and Bill the lizard from Franchise/{{Disney|AnimatedCanon}}'s ''WesternAnimation/AliceInWonderland'', who are otherwise fully-dressed in formal and casual attire respectively, lack footwear. |
| 162 | * The majority of the mice from ''WesternAnimation/AnAmericanTail'' lack shoes, yet are otherwise fully dressed (the cats tend to be straight-up {{Half Dressed Cartoon Animal}}s). |
| 163 | * The titular character of ''WesternAnimation/ArloTheAlligatorBoy'' wears a shirt and pants, but no shoes. |
| 164 | * From ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast'', the Beast's paws are too large for him to wear shoes. |
| 165 | * Most of the animal characters in ''WesternAnimation/CatsDontDance'' don't wear any shoes. |
| 166 | * All of the characters in ''WesternAnimation/ChickenhareAndTheHamsterOfDarkness'' are anthro animals who are fully dressed but are otherwise barefoot. |
| 167 | * Most of the characters from ''WesternAnimation/ChickenLittle'' go about barefoot, even on concrete surfaces. |
| 168 | * Rat characters Nick and Fetcher from ''WesternAnimation/ChickenRun'' wear business suits without shoes. |
| 169 | * All of the animal cast from ''WesternAnimation/FantasticMrFox'', with the exceptions of Kris, Coach Skip and the Beaver's unnamed son don't wear any shoes. |
| 170 | %%* As with [[ComicBook/FritzTheCat the original comic]], some characters from ''WesternAnimation/FritzTheCat'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheNineLivesOfFritzTheCat'' are fully dressed yet lack shoes, with Fritz himself still being a HalfDressedCartoonAnimal. |
| 171 | %% * The trolls from ''WesternAnimation/{{Frozen|2013}}''. |
| 172 | * ''WesternAnimation/GlobehuntersAnAroundTheWorldInEightyDaysAdventure'': Three of the four Rastafarian [[CatGirl Cat Girls]] that Eddie, Sasha, and Trevor encounter on the ship don't wear shoes. |
| 173 | %% * Desert Flower from ''WesternAnimation/TheGoodTheBadAndHuckleberryHound''. |
| 174 | * The Big Bad Wolf from ''WesternAnimation/{{Hoodwinked}}'', of which he initially [[HalfDressedCartoonAnimal wore just a blue hoodie]] in the first movie, added a pair of pants to his wardrobe for the sequel. He still goes barefoot though. |
| 175 | %% * Wayne and Wanda, the suburban werewolf family from ''WesternAnimation/HotelTransylvania''. |
| 176 | * Most of the supporting animal characters in the ''Franchise/KungFuPanda'' franchise are barefooters. So are some of the main characters, such as SixthRanger Zhen and BigBad the Chameleon in ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda4''. The panda villagers in ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda3'' are particularly notable, as they make the main character Po just about the only panda who ''does'' wear shoes. |
| 177 | * Stitch from ''WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitch'' was first seen wearing an orange jumpsuit while he is in "alien mode" and is otherwise barefoot. Other alien characters such as Dr. Jumba Jookiba, the Grand Councilwoman, and Gantu wear full outfits except for footwear, as their [[BizarreAlienBiology abnormal foot anatomy]] probably wouldn't allow for it anyway. |
| 178 | * WesternAnimation/LolaBunny and WesternAnimation/SpeedyGonzales in ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunesRabbitsRun''. Lola wears a blue knee-length dress with gold highlights. Speedy wears his usual white outfit, described in his own entry. Neither of them wear shoes. |
| 179 | * A few incarnations of the WolfMan have appeared fully clothed yet barefoot in some animated movies such as ''WesternAnimation/MadMonsterParty'', ''Monster Mash'' and ''WesternAnimation/HotelTransylvania''. |
| 180 | %% * The Critter, a biker wolf from the TV special ''The Magical Mystery Trip Through Little Red's Head''. He wears a dark vest, gloves and oversized shades. Alternated between this and wearing boots. |
| 181 | %% * One of the walk-on villains to appear on ''WesternAnimation/{{Minions}}'' was an anthropomorphic, fire-breathing reptilian wearing a bucket hat, a yellow novelty shirt and brown shorts. |
| 182 | * [[GorgeousGorgon Celia]] from ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc1'' is a variation; she has tentacles instead of feet, and her only clothing is a dress that reaches to where her knees would be. |
| 183 | * In ''WesternAnimation/MrPeabodyAndSherman'', Mr. Peabody is usually an AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal, but his period costumes when he's {{Time Travel}}ing fall into either this category or HalfDressedCartoonAnimal; he wears era-appropriate outfits, but continues going barefoot. The only time he's shown with footwear is when he goes ice skating with Sherman in the memories montage. |
| 184 | * Many of the residents of Klugtown in ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTheMovie2017'' run the gamut of either having full outfits that lack footwear or being {{Half Dressed Cartoon Animal}}s. Verko, the rat-like crime boss that Capper nearly sells the Mane Six to, falls into the former category. |
| 185 | %% * About half of the characters in ''WesternAnimation/OnceUponAForest'' are this, the other characters being {{Half Dressed Cartoon Animal}}s. |
| 186 | %% * Some suburban mythical creatures featured in ''WesternAnimation/{{Onward}}'' utilize this trope, particularly FaunsAndSatyrs. Corey the manticore switches between this and [[FullyDressedCartoonAnimal wearing heels]]. |
| 187 | * J. Worthington Foulfellow and Gideon from ''WesternAnimation/{{Pinocchio}}'' are mostly fully-dressed, but they don't wear shoes (although their outfits include spats). |
| 188 | %% * Mister Bobo, [[CivilizedAnimal the world’s first Man-panzee]] from ''WesternAnimation/ThePiratesBandOfMisfits'', is an intelligent chimp who dresses in a suit with spats over his hind paws. |
| 189 | * The female aliens from ''WesternAnimation/{{Planet 51}}'' wear full outfits that don't include shoes. The males [[HalfDressedCartoonAnimal wear nothing below the waist]]. |
| 190 | %% * Some supporting characters from ''WesternAnimation/{{Rango}}'', including Mr. Merrimack (a squirrel) and Buford the barkeep (a toad). |
| 191 | * Some of the mouse characters from ''WesternAnimation/TheRescuers'' are fully clothed except for shoes, though the leads are {{Half Dressed Cartoon Animal}}s. Bernard first appears as one, wearing a red sweater, a red cap, and blue overalls rather like [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario]]. |
| 192 | * Some of the cast from ''WesternAnimation/RobinHood1973'', including Lady Kluck, Alan-a-Dale, the churchmice, and the rabbit family, wear medieval outfits that don't include footwear. For everyone except Kluck, this trope probably overlaps with BarefootPoverty. |
| 193 | %% * A few incidental from ''WesternAnimation/RockADoodle'', along with Chanticleer switching in and out of wearing shoes depending on the scene. |
| 194 | * The anthro characters in ''WesternAnimation/RockDog'' wear clothes, and many of them are fully dressed. However, there are several barefooters in the cast, including Bodi, Khampa, Angus, The Grizzly, and the sheep villagers. This might be because they're all from a rural environment except The Grizzly, who is basically a UsefulNotes/MixedMartialArts fighter. |
| 195 | %% * Winnie the Werewolf of ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooAndTheGhoulSchool''. |
| 196 | * Most of the rats from ''WesternAnimation/TheSecretOfNIMH'' wear medieval outfits without footwear, although their elderly leader Nicodemus is TheOneWhoWearsShoes. The other animal characters are either half-dressed or fully naked. |

| 201 | %%* Practical Pig and the Big Bad Wolf (aka Zeke Wolf) from the animated short ''WesternAnimation/TheThreeLittlePigs''. When Zeke's son Li'l Bad Wolf is introduced in the comics and other spin-offs, he usually falls under this category as well. |
| 202 | * Most of the trolls in, well, the ''Franchise/{{Trolls}}'' franchise. They normally wear full outfits without shoes, although there are [[TheOneWhoWearsShoes a few exceptions]]. |
| 203 | * The singing hound dog from Creator/BillPlympton's ''The Tune'' wears an Music/ElvisPresley costume during his music number, though it doesn't come with shoes. |
| 204 | * Valentino the goat from ''WesternAnimation/Wish2023'' is an extremely rare example of a non-anthropomorphic animal who falls under this, wearing a yellow jumpsuit. |
| 205 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Zootopia}}'' takes place in a WorldOfFunnyAnimals who go barefoot but are otherwise fully clothed. Even characters who have some form of footwear (such as Judy Hopps and the other cops, who have foot coverings on their police uniforms, and Mr. Big, who wears spats) have their toes uncovered. The only exception is Gazelle, who is TheOneWhoWearsShoes. |

| 212 | %% * The titular feline from ''Film/CoolCatSavesTheKids''. |
| 213 | %% * Young bear cub Beary Barrington from Disney's ''Film/TheCountryBears'', whose outfit included a blue and white t-shirt and gray cargo shorts. Fred Bedderhead wore only blue jeans and a suspender. |
| 214 | * As in other media, Rocket Raccoon from ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy2014'' wears a space adventurer outfit but has bare paws. However, in ''Film/AvengersEndgame'', he wears a pair of boots with his uniform, graduating to FullyDressedCartoonAnimal. |
| 215 | * The live-action film adaptation of ''Film/HowardTheDuck'' features the main character (who was a HalfDressedCartoonAnimal in [[ComicBook/HowardTheDuck the original comic]]) wearing suit and pants without shoes. |
| 216 | %% * Some animated costumed dancing animals from ''Film/MaryPoppinsReturns''. |
| 217 | * WesternAnimation/LolaBunny from ''Film/SpaceJam'' wears more clothing than most Franchise/LooneyTunes animals (either her street clothes or a Tune Squad uniform), but she's still a barefooter. The other furry characters who wear Tune Squad uniforms don't bother with footwear either. This is {{lampshaded}} when UsefulNotes/MichaelJordan asks if the toons have a pair of basketball shoes he could borrow —- cut to a few shots of the toons' feet. The furry Looney Tunes continue this tradition in ''Film/SpaceJamANewLegacy''. |
| 218 | * Some of the aliens from the ''Franchise/StarWars'' films go barefoot, notably Yoda and Jar Jar Binks. |
| 219 | %% * The titular character from ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit''. Roger wears red overalls and a polka-dot bowtie. |
| 220 | * Whenever ''Film/{{Ted}}'' wears clothes in the 2 movies and TV series, his outfit never includes shoes. Justified because he's a stuffed toy. |

| 224 | * Some of the mice from the original ''WesternAnimation/AngelinaBallerina'' book series and the first cartoon series. |

| 226 | * The cast of the ''Literature/BasilOfBakerStreet'' series, in stark contrast with its AnimatedAdaptation ''WesternAnimation/TheGreatMouseDetective''. |
| 227 | * Bendemolena and her feline siblings from the storybook ''The Cat Who Wore a Pot On Her Head''. |
| 228 | * ''Literature/{{Corduroy}}'' (from the book of the same name) was a stuffed teddy bear who wore green corduroy overalls. |
| 229 | * The Feas, the vaguely cat-like aliens from the ''Literature/DestinedToLead'' series. |
| 230 | * ''Literature/FrogAndToad'' from the respective book series. |
| 231 | * In the ''Literature/GeronimoStilton'' series and most of its {{Spin Off}}s[[note]]''The Spacemice Series'' is an exception[[/note]], most of the characters are barefoot but otherwise clothed, with a few characters (most notably Pinky Pick) being TheOneWhoWearsShoes. Subverted in the books starring the Thea Sisters; they and their supporting cast start out barefoot like everyone else, but come to be portrayed as {{Fully Dressed Cartoon Animal}}s later in the series. |
| 232 | * Mitcho (a cat) and Sebastian (an elephant) from the Danish children's book ''Literature/TheGiantPear'' and its AnimatedAdaptation. |
| 233 | * Richie, the fox pup, from ''Literature/HildaAndRichie'' is not shown wearing shoes, though he wears a shirt and pants. |
| 234 | * CivilizedAnimal Mouse from ''Literature/IfYouGiveAMouseACookie'' wears a set of blue-green overalls without shoes. |
| 235 | * ''Literature/INeedAWee'': One background cat wears overalls and no shoes. |
| 236 | * The cast of ''Literature/JoeCarrot'', the self-titled Italian book series about a rabbit private detective. |
| 237 | * Speaking of, Kenny Rabbit from the fantasy adventure ''Literature/KennyAndTheDragon'' also applies here with his plaid flannel shirt and green shorts. |
| 238 | * ''Literature/TheBerenstainBears'' are generally seen shoeless. Professor Actual Factual actually wears spats on his feet. |
| 239 | * Most characters from Mercer Mayer's ''Literature/LittleCritter'' and ''Critters of the Night'' series of books, though averted completely in ''LC and the Critter Kids''. |
| 240 | * The cast of Anna Dewdney's ''Literature/LlamaLlama'' books and their AnimatedAdaptation. The title character's signature look includes a set of overalls. |
| 241 | * In ''Literature/TheMouseWatch'', the default for the mouse and rat characters is that they wear full outfits that don't include shoes. |
| 242 | * ''Literature/PaddingtonBear'' starts out wearing an oversized hat a big blue overcoat in the original books and their film and television adaptations, but still has [[{{Pun}} bear feet]]. That is, until he gets a pair of wellington boots for Christmas in ''Paddington Marches On'', which quickly became part of his IconicOutfit because they allowed the soft toys to stand upright. |
| 243 | * Mr. Tod, the dapper fox from the classic ''Literature/PeterRabbit'' book series. |
| 244 | * Little Pookie, a piglet in overalls, from the ''Pookie Books'' series by Sandra Boynton. |
| 245 | * The Foxen from ''Literature/TheRedVixenAdventures''. |
| 246 | * Creator/RichardScarry's works, with [[TheOneWhoWearsShoes the one exception of Lowly the Worm]], [[spoiler: the one character who has no feet.]] |
| 247 | ** This factor was {{lampshaded}} in an episode of the animated ''WesternAnimation/BusytownMysteries'' while identifying a footprint. |
| 248 | * The anthro mouse characters from Sandy Clifford's ''The Roquefort Gang'', adapted into an episode of the 1980s series ''CBS Storybreak''. |
| 249 | * Most of the animal characters created by Creator/RosemaryWells. |
| 250 | * ''Literature/SheilaRaeTheBrave'': All of the characters are mice or rats, and none of them wear shoes despite being otherwise fully-dressed. |
| 251 | * ''Literature/WhoWetMyPants'': Reuben, Bigfoot, the dog, and the hippo all wear scout outfits without shoes. |

| 256 | * Chelli the patchwork dog from ''Series/BigBag''. |
| 257 | * The cast from Germany's ''Series/CaptainBluebear''. |
| 258 | * Most of the cast from ''Series/{{Dinosaurs}}''. Though not always shown from the waist down, B.P. Richfield does wear suspenders most of the time. Fran Sinclair also qualifies (except for the rare occasions when she wears fuzzy slippers). |
| 259 | * The Fraggles from ''Series/FraggleRock'', who are generally {{Half Dressed Cartoon Animal}}s. (Uncle Traveling Matt is TheOneWhoWearsShoes, presumably because they go with his AdventurerOutfit.) |
| 260 | * The title character from the puppet series ''Harry the Bunny''. |
| 261 | * Cling and Clang from ''Series/HRPufnstuf''. |
| 262 | * Raunchy from ''Series/{{Lidsville}}''. |
| 263 | * The Bookmice from Canada's ''Series/TheMagicLibrary''. |
| 264 | * Animal, Beauregard the janitor and Uncle Deadly from ''Franchise/TheMuppets''. Animal sports a red and yellow shirt, tattered pants, and an iron collar, but no shoes. Beau, who wears a white cap, gray trousers and a plaid shirt, is fully-dressed but also lacks shoes, as shown in ''Film/TheGreatMuppetCaper''. Uncle Deadly wears a dark Victorian suit with spats, and of course no shoes. |
| 265 | * Polkaroo from ''Series/ThePolkaDotDoor''. |
| 266 | * The ''Series/{{Pajanimals}}''. {{Justified}} since they're only ever seen in pajamas. |
| 267 | * ''Series/TheReppies'', a dinosaur band who dressed like typical rock stars, except for footwear. |
| 268 | * Most of the non-human Muppets from ''Series/SesameStreet''. |
| 269 | * The cast from ''Series/SwampCritters''. |
| 270 | * This is a DiscussedTrope in the ''Series/TodaysSpecial'' episode "Shoes". Muffy Mouse explains that she and other mice go barefoot because they need to be quiet to live in houses where people don't know they're there. In the climactic song when the other characters sing about their shoes, her line is: "I'm the only one without a pair, that's 'cause my feet would rather be bare!" |
| 271 | * As in the original comic, Dr. Pogo from the LiveActionAdaptation of ''Series/TheUmbrellaAcademy''. |
| 272 | * In ''Series/TheWildWildWest'' episode "[[Recap/TheWildWildWestS4E24TheNightOfTheTycoons The Night of the Tycoons]]" an OrganGrinder's monkey, wearing a chimp-sized Union army uniform without shoes, is used as a bomb-throwing AnimalAssassin. |

| 279 | %%[[/folder]] |
| 280 | |
| 281 | [[folder:Pinball]] |
| 282 | * ''Pinball/MousinAround'': Every mouse seen in the game's artwork wears a shirt, pants, and at least one accessory - but no shoes. |
| 283 | %%* The policemen of ''Pinball/PoliceForce'' are almost fully clothed, save for their lack of shoes. |
| 284 | %%* As per their designs, all of the furry WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes characters in ''Pinball/SpaceJam'' go without shoes. |
| 285 | [[/folder]] |

| 287 | %%[[folder:Roleplay]] |
| 288 | %%* Although ''Roleplay/RubyQuest'' is a borderline StickFigureComic, the characters either go barefoot or are {{fully dressed|CartoonAnimal}} in fan art. However, Ruby herself is almost unanimously drawn barefoot even when others are fully dressed -- a one-off reference to her "UNATTRACTIVELY LONG FOOT"[[note]]well, she ''is'' a rabbit[[/note]] would imply this as canon. |
| 289 | %%[[/folder]] |
| 290 | |
| 291 | [[folder:Tabletop Games]] |
| 292 | * Being based on 80s HeroicFantasy novels and cartoons, the [[BeastMan Wilderkind]] of ''TabletopGame/TheChroniclesOfAeres'' are always depicted going about barefooted in the artwork, and it's even noted in the setting's lore that they prefer to not use shoes, thanks to their paw-like feet. |
| 293 | * ''TabletopGame/{{Crimestrikers}}'' is set on Creaturia, a [[WorldOfFunnyAnimals World of Anthropomorphic Animals]] where going barefoot while otherwise clothed is the norm. The only exceptions are the villains who wear PoweredArmor (Forster Burns) or full body disguises (Commander Ahab, The Righteous One), and the robots. |

| 300 | [[folder:Video Games]] |
| 301 | %% * ''VideoGame/{{Alphacat}}'': The citizens of Whiskar and its allies, as well as a small number of its enemies. |
| 302 | * Most of the animal villagers from the ''Franchise/AnimalCrossing'' series who aren't {{Half Dressed Cartoon Animal}}s tend to wear outfits that don't include footwear (with some exceptions, such as Flick, Harvey, Isabelle (as of ''[[VideoGame/AnimalCrossingNewHorizons New Horizons]]''), and Digby). One wonders how Kicks the Skunk (an [=NPC=] who sells shoes) makes a living when his only potential customers are the players and the aforementioned exceptions. |
| 303 | %% * The cast of ''VideoGame/{{Armello}}''. |
| 304 | %%* Most of the cast of ''VideoGame/AShortHike'' are barefooters. The exceptions are a polar bear who wears only a red vest, a puffin who wears nothing, and a turtle, who's a debatable case depending on whether you think a shell counts as clothes. It gets stranger when Claire gets a pair of running shoes, which aren't an equipable item, and apparently make her faster just by being in her pocket. |
| 305 | * Several anthro characters from ''VideoGame/{{Awesomenauts}}'' wear outfits that lack shoes, including Penny Fox[[note]]Except for her cheerleader outfit.[[/note]], Froggy G, Dizzy (though she does wear spats), and Rocco. |
| 306 | %% * The titular hero of ''VideoGame/AwesomePossumKicksDrMachinosButt''. |
| 307 | * Most of the animal denizens of ''VideoGame/BoundByBlades'' forgoes shoes. Of the three playable heroes, Teo the feline swordsman and Guren the rabbit archer are shoeless and can obtain footwear later in the game, but Kota the bovine brawler wears boots by default. |
| 308 | %% * Garr from ''VideoGame/BreathOfFireIII''. This is both because the Guardian's (species of which Garr is a member) anatomy includes massive feet and because they wanted to show off said anatomy. |
| 309 | %% * The Mimigas, a race of rabbit/dog {{Cartoon Creature}}s from ''VideoGame/CaveStory''. |
| 310 | %% * Many characters in ''VideoGame/ChipperAndSonsLumberCo'' |
| 311 | * ''VideoGame/CodeNameSteam'' mostly stars humans, but has one FunnyAnimal with Lion; while he's wearing some sort of metal anklets, he doesn't wear shoes, presumably because his feet are digitigrade (his heels don't lie on the ground). |
| 312 | * Boki, the player character from ''VideoGame/CopyKitty'', doesn't wear shoes. Crystal-encased feet are ''almost'' shoes, but that's just natural Kitera anatomy. |
| 313 | * In ''VideoGame/DisneySpeedstorm'', Figment wears an outfit that covers both the top and bottom halves of his body (unlike in ''Ride/JourneyIntoImagination'' in which he usually only wears a shirt or nothing at all), but still doesn't wear shoes. |
| 314 | * The beast races in ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIIMorrowind'', the [[CatFolk Khajiit]] and the [[LizardFolk Argonians]], are unable to wear shoes because their feet are bigger and differently shaped. This also extends to helmets; they can't wear anything that covers their whole face. It then got [[SubvertedTrope subverted]] in ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIVOblivion'', where they are able to do just that. |
| 315 | ** The reason is that Bethesda, wanting the beast races to be more exotic, gave them digitigrade feet (along with turning the Khajiit from the Ohmes found in Arena-Daggerfall to the Suthay-raht in Morrowind) as opposed to the plantigrade feet they would later receive in ''Oblivion'' and ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Skyrim]]''. |
| 316 | * The titular hero of ''VideoGame/FinAndTheAncientMystery'' is an anthropomorphic fennec fox who doesn't wear any shoes, just a black kimono and red belt. |
| 317 | * Milla Basset from ''VideoGame/FreedomPlanet'' is the the only (known) cast member to go barefoot; her description in [[http://spacemanstrife.deviantart.com/art/Milla-the-Hound-Child-Sketch-by-R-No71-311455282 this art of her]] notes "she has a strong connection to the earth" alongside [[PrefersGoingBarefoot her distaste for shoes]], implying her to be an EarthyBarefootCharacter. Considering this is from a cast full of {{Fully Dressed Cartoon Animal}}s, this would also make her an {{inver|tedTrope}}sion of TheOneWhoWearsShoes. |
| 318 | %% * The anthro version of ''VideoGame/{{Frogger}}'' had a near-full set of traveling clothes that fits this trope throughout the 2000s in subsequent sequels such as ''Frogger: The Great Quest'' and ''Frogger Beyond''. |
| 319 | * ZigzaggedTrope in ''VideoGame/FugaMelodiesOfSteel''. Some characters wear shoes (Malt, Kyle, Boron, Socks, and Britz), while others don't, while otherwise being fully dressed (Mei, Hanna, the Montblanc twins, Sheena, Jin and Wappa). This also applies to the NPC villagers, as seen in the artbook that comes with the Deluxe Edition. Members of both the Gasco Army and Berman Empire all have some kind of footwear, however. |
| 320 | %% * The cast of ''VideoGame/FurFighters''. |
| 321 | * The player character in the ''VideoGame/GameAndWatch'' game ''Egg'' is a bipedal fox with WhiteGloves, pants, and no shoes. |
| 322 | %% * [[CuteMonsterGirl Sveta]] from ''VideoGame/GoldenSunDarkDawn'' is this, even though she can still equip boots like any other character. |
| 323 | * Pretty much the entire cast from the anthropomorphic animal video game ''VideoGame/HighSeasHavoc'', including the main protagonist, is lacking in the footwear department despite otherwise being fully-dressed. |
| 324 | * The "morphs" from ''VideoGame/InheritTheEarth'', bipedal animals who talk, wear clothes and live in civilizations like humans once did, don't bother with any footwear. |
| 325 | %% * [[spoiler:Tess]] from ''VideoGame/JakAndDaxter'' when she [[spoiler:becomes an Ottsel.]] |
| 326 | * In ''VideoGame/JazzJackrabbit'', Lori Jackrabbit wears a purple top and shorts, but goes barefoot. Jazz himself is usually an AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal who wears only a bandana, but comes under this trope when his outfit includes pants. |
| 327 | * ''VideoGame/JitsuSquad'' averts this for all the characters except Jazz Amun, a [[FrogMen frogman]] who ditches footwear. Though it's less this trope and more because the players used to be human warriors before a curse turned them into animals, and Jazz used to be a Buddhist Monk (known for forgoing shoes) before he's turned into a frog-man. |
| 328 | %% * C.J. Frog from the ''VideoGame/JumpStart'' series of [=CD-ROMs=]. His usual outfit is a safari vest, khaki shorts and a fedora. |
| 329 | * In ''VideoGame/KingsQuestVIIThePrincelessBride'', the trolls don't wear shoes. This extends to Rosella when she's turned into one during Chapter 2, although her shoes magically reappear on her feet when she changes back. |
| 330 | %% * {{Implied|Trope}} with Kieran from the first ''VideoGame/LandsOfLore''; though his feet are not directly seen (only depicted in his character sheet silhouette), he does not have a slot for footwear while other player characters do. |
| 331 | %% * Kay the martial arts cat from ''VideoGame/LegendOfKay'' wears a Chinese-inspired warrior's outfit. Other cat characters including Su Ling and The Master apply to this trope as well. |
| 332 | %% * ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'' |
| 333 | %% ** The Rito from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker'' were possibly this, but given the art style, it made it somewhat ambiguous whether they had bare talons or just wore boots that looked like them. |
| 334 | %% ** Subverted with the Rito in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild'' (e.g.: Revali, Teba, Kass et al.). While it may appear that the entire race is wearing puffy shorts, they are actually just feathers that are a (mostly) very plain white compared to the rest of their feathers. Saki is the most obvious giveaway, as her stomach marking and leg feathers are exactly the same blue color. |
| 335 | * Latch from ''VideoGame/LethalLeague'' is modestly-dressed for a crocodile, bearing a hoodie, some sweatpants and a beanie cap, but leaves his hands and feet bare. {{Justified|Trope}} in that he then uses his exposed sharp claws to hang onto walls. |
| 336 | * Rocket Raccoon's outfit in ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3'' covers everything on his body except his head, his tail, and his hind paws. |
| 337 | %% * ''VideoGame/MoshiMonsters'' has several barefoot characters, including Lila Tweet, Buster Bumblechops, Elder Furi and Lady Meowford. The Beanstalk Giant doesn't normally wear shoes, but does sometimes. |
| 338 | %% * Marquis de Hoto from ''VideoGame/TheNightOfTheRabbit''. |
| 339 | %% * Shema and Shameen from ''VideoGame/QuestForGlory''. |
| 340 | %% * Ratchet from ''Franchise/RatchetAndClank'' is this in [[VideoGame/RatchetAndClank2002 the first game]], as well as a WalkingShirtlessScene. All of his armor in the next few games featured boots, but in ''[[VideoGame/RatchetAndClankSizeMatters Size Matters]]'' he appeared in his original outfit again. When he next appeared in casual clothes (in ''[[VideoGame/RatchetAndClankFutureToolsOfDestruction Tools of Destruction]]''), he was wearing boots again (as well as overalls). |
| 341 | %% * Several versions of VideoGame/ReaderRabbit. |
| 342 | %% * The cast of ''VideoGame/ReworkTheDeadEvil''. |
| 343 | * ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'': |
| 344 | ** {{Inverted|Trope}}, since most of the characters wear nothing ''but'' shoes and gloves. (Some of the characters, such as Ix, Charmy, and most females do wear actual clothes, but also have shoes and gloves.) |
| 345 | ** Played straight with almost every single player character in ''VideoGame/SonicsSchoolhouse''. All are anthropomorphic animals, all but the kangaroo are fully-dressed (the kangaroo lacks pants), none of them wear any footwear. Due to the first-person viewpoint, though, you have to play two-player to realize this. |
| 346 | * Player characters in ''VideoGame/ToontownOnline'' start without shoes, but can buy some at a later point. |
| 347 | * TY from ''VideoGame/TyTheTasmanianTiger'' is one of the few main characters in the series who ''doesn't'' wear shoes. He's also somehow capable of [[GrindBoots grinding]] [[MadeOfIron on rails]]. |
| 348 | * Several characters from ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'' wear clothes but not shoes, including Toriel, Dr. Alphys, [[spoiler: Toriel's husband King Asgore]], [[spoiler: Asriel]], many of the minor monsters, and some minibosses. Lampshaded with Toriel where you can go into her bedroom and discover a sock drawer, despite the fact that she never wears them. |
| 349 | ** Ralsei and Noelle from the sister game, ''VideoGame/{{Deltarune}}'', also go barefoot. This is not apparent with Ralsei during Chapter 1 [[spoiler:as his body is in shadow from his outfit, also obscuring the fact he is a goat boy]], but Chapter 2 makes it unmistakable. For the deer girl Noelle, it's hard to tell at a glance, but her Berdly-shaking sprite depicts cloven hooves at the bottom of her legs, and if you decline the offer of a "free sample" from the Cyber Shoes II store in Chapter 2, she'll comment that "[she doesn't] really do... shoes. (At least not unless they're custom-made...)". [[https://twitter.com/tobyfox/status/1474747245597982721 Toby Fox's sketches of Noelle]] further reaffirm the idea, explicitly depicting her with hooved feet (without being a joke doodle like some of the other sketches featured). Both characters are otherwise fully-dressed. |
| 350 | * Unlike his partner Dribble, Spitz from ''VideoGame/WarioWare'' doesn't have shoes to go with his blue jumpsuit. |
| 351 | %% * Several incidental funny animal characters from the online game ''VideoGame/{{Wizard 101}}'' and its sister game ''VideoGame/Pirate101''. |

| 356 | [[/folder]] |
| 357 | |
| 358 | [[folder:Web Animation]] |
| 359 | * Bethany and Bob from ''WebAnimation/GameDogs'' go barefoot but wear full outfits otherwise. This gets outright surreal in [[http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/game-dogs/1499-Episode-Eight-Jennifer episode 8]] when Jennifer mentions Bethany's shoes -- after we just saw Bethany walk through the door barefoot. [[MindScrew And the punchline is that they're out of style]]. Judging from Bethany's reaction to the remark ("Oh... I see what you did there"), Jennifer intended it as a StealthInsult. |
| 360 | * ''WebAnimation/HappyTreeFriends'': Every character except Cuddles (who wears bunny slippers), Disco Bear (who wears disco shoes) and Russell (who doesn't have feet, wearing peg legs in their place). |
| 361 | * ''WebAnimation/HelluvaBoss'': |
| 362 | ** Loona wears a half-shirt, pants, and socks that leave her paws uncovered due to her digitigrade stance. |
| 363 | ** While the exact level of clothing varies, including cases of being {{half dressed|CartoonAnimal}} or {{accessory wearing|CartoonAnimal}}, the animal-type Cherubim are consistently shown as barefoot. |
| 364 | * ''WebAnimation/{{Katzun}}'' always draws his characters as animals, clothed except for their shoes. However, in his animations he is also likely to take the shortcut of drawing LongPants instead. |
| 365 | * Pocket from ''WebAnimation/TrickMoon'' wears a hoodie, a shirt and shorts, but no shoes. |
| 366 | * The cast of ''WebAnimation/TrueTail'' are fully-clothed barefooters, except for the [[HalfDressedCartoonAnimal pantless]] Brutus and a few characters who wear [[WesternAnimation/{{Zootopia}} Judy Hopps]]-style toeless boots. |
| 367 | [[/folder]] |

| 369 | [[folder:Webcomics]] |
| 370 | %% * The cast of ''Webcomic/TwentyFirstCenturyFox'', although the protagonist is still offered a ShoePhone at one point. |
| 371 | %% * Katie's Khajiit character in ''Webcomic/AwkwardZombie'' strips based on ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIVOblivion Oblivion]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Skyrim]]'' is always barefoot. Presumably personal preference, since both ''Oblivion'' and ''Skyrim'' Khajiit are perfectly capable of wearing shoes (as opposed to, say, those in ''Morrowind''). |
| 372 | %% * Most characters from ''Webcomic/BoomerExpress''. |
| 373 | * In ''Webcomic/ByTheTail'' the furry characters wear clothes, but not shoes. |
| 374 | %% * Several characters from ''Webcomic/BrokenPlotDevice'', including the protagonist Lizardbeth. |
| 375 | %% * The cast of ''Webcomic/CarryOn''. |
| 376 | %% * Most characters from ''Webcomic/{{Catena}}''. Their feet tend to be drawn in much greater detail than most examples of this trope. |
| 377 | %% * Kira and Toby from ''Webcomic/ChivalryAndKnavery''. |
| 378 | * ''Webcomic/{{Avania}}'': Avian, Equine, and [[OurGryphonsAreDifferent Hequevar]] characters generally wear lower leg coverings of some kind such as canvas spats or leather gaiters, which leave the soles of their feet exposed. Full shoes do also exist in the setting, however, as Lieutenant Viktoria Lanius is seen wearing [[AllWomenLoveShoes high heels]] while dressed in civilian clothing. Equine agent Valenvarius also laments not having his farrier fit him for full shoes appropriate for a rocky environment. |
| 379 | * Felix O'Connel from ''Webcomic/{{Cloudscratcher}}'' usually goes barefoot, even though Ixia was able to get a pair of shoes from his closet when she needed a change of clothes, and he still had a pair for when he went into the city. WordOfGod is that he PrefersGoingBarefoot in the same way that a human might. It was also presumably common in the old Avian Empire. Of the three birds whose feet have been in frame, only one was wearing sandals. |
| 380 | %% * Pretty much the norm for anyone who wore clothes in ''Webcomic/CommanderKitty'', before the ContinuityReboot. After it, the characters tend to be either {{fully dressed|CartoonAnimal}} or [[HalfDressedCartoonAnimal mostly naked]], with some exceptions like [[http://www.commanderkitty.com/2009/04/12/nin-wah/ Grootly]] and [[http://www.commanderkitty.com/2010/07/04/nothing-like-a-good-rant/ Zenith]]. |
| 381 | * Clothes in general are a rare sight in ''Webcomic/CrossedClaws'', but of the only characters who ''do'' wear clothes, Jered the rabbit and Claudia the mouse, their outfits don't include shoes. |
| 382 | %% * The default state for the wardrobe of ''Webcomic/{{Curtailed}}'' characters. Though being a LifeEmbellished comic, it's not as hard a rule as it is for most other works that play by this trope. |
| 383 | %% * Most of the cast of ''Webcomic/DanAndMabsFurryAdventures'', but especially Mab who hates shoes. |
| 384 | %% * The cast of ''Webcomic/{{Darastrix}}''. |
| 385 | %% * Touya and Ishimaru from ''Webcomic/DemonBlade'', who are a fox and a raccoon respectively. |
| 386 | * All the members of Species X from ''Webcomic/DNATheWebcomic'' go barefoot, probably because the scientists who are raising them don't bother to give them shoes. |
| 387 | %% * Some characters from ''Webcomic/{{Dreamkeepers}}''. |
| 388 | * In ''Webcomic/DropOut'', Lola has no feet, just blunt-ended legs, and can't wear shoes. Sugar usually does, but goes barefoot at home and at one point forgets that she isn't barefoot during the journey, accidentally kicking something when trying to pick it up with her thumbed tarsier foot. |
| 389 | %% * Gustine Greene (a humanoid talking rhino), Wally Wallechinsky (a cat) plus some additional incidental characters from ''Webcomic/{{Endtown}}''. |
| 390 | %% * Everyone in ''Webcomic/{{Fite}}'' |
| 391 | * The main characters of ''Webcomic/{{Forestdale}}'' are furry kids who wear full outfits without shoes. However, the adults dress this way as well. |
| 392 | %% * The cast of ''Webcomic/ForestHill''. |
| 393 | * The Lycans from ''Webcomic/FoxyFlavoredCookie'' are [[BeastMan anthropomorphic furries]] who don't wear shoes but are otherwise fully clothed. |
| 394 | * The characters of ''Webcomic/FurryFightChronicles'' zigzag between wearing shoes or being barefoot depending on their physiology or preference. |
| 395 | ** Barefoot preference is more common in characters who have a more animalistic physiology than others. Cookie and Nyarai are the only barefooters. The main difference is that Cookie has digitigrade paws that make it hard to find shoes for her while Nyarai has humanoid feet with paw pads similar to Muko and Kalita, being barefoot out of choice or preference. |
| 396 | %% * Almost every single character in ''Webcomic/FurWillFly'' and its SpinOff ''Webcomic/ComingUpViolet'' who isn't a firefighter, soldier, or human. |
| 397 | %% * The cast of ''GoodCheese''. |
| 398 | %% * June Blue Delias from ''Webcomic/HaruSari''. |
| 399 | %% * Some characters from ''ComicBook/{{Horndog}}''. |
| 400 | %% * The Da'Kor from ''Webcomic/{{Inverloch}}''. |
| 401 | %% * Some characters in ''Webcomic/JackDavidHopkins''. The series is rather inconsistent on whether or not shoes are the norm. |
| 402 | * The cast of ''Webcomic/KevinAndKell'', except for the human baby Francis. Lampshaded on occasion: they hang up Christmas stockings, but don't know what they're for beyond putting presents in. Also on the occasion Danielle (who's from the human dimension) makes shoes for Francis and the other are perplexed by it. |
| 403 | %% * ''Webcomic/LastRes0rt'' saves this for the truly weird-footed species -- mostly Anyr and Vidians so far. |
| 404 | %% ** Averted with the Zillans, who DO wear shoes, despite being depicted with some rather gnarly claw-feet otherwise. |
| 405 | %% * Though occasionally shown wearing shoes, the characters of ''Webcomic/LasLindas'' generally fit the trope. |
| 406 | %% * Ash and Stella from ''Webcomic/LatchkeyKingdom''. Ash generally only wears bandages on their HandyFeet, although they upgrade to toe-socks for an Xmas arc when gifted them. Stella doesn't bother with even that much, but doesn't appear even slightly bothered that she's going barefoot through snow - presumably because she is (or at least claims to be) a demigod. |
| 407 | * The titular characters of ''Webcomic/LaughOutLoudCats'' are fully dressed except for footwear. Lampshaded in [[http://apelad.blogspot.com/2012/09/laugh-out-loud-cats-2080.html this strip]]. |
| 408 | --> "I'd make a peach [[{{Pun}} cobblr]], but we don't evn wear shoes." |
| 409 | * In ''Webcomic/LancerTheKnightsOfFenris'', a furry SpaceOpera, most of the characters are soldiers who wear a variety of military uniforms, complete with boots. However, there's been one exception so far: the feline Duchess Ivanna Morozov, whose costume is a flowing white robe and bare feet. |
| 410 | %% * Krunch Bloodrage from ''Webcomic/LookingForGroup''. |
| 411 | %% * The cast of ''Webcomic/MurryPurryFreshAndFurry''. |
| 412 | %% * Some of the characters in ''Webcomic/{{Newshounds}}''. |
| 413 | * ''Webcomic/NonPack'' is a MatureAnimalStory about criminal gangs in an anthropomorphic version of UsefulNotes/PuertoRico. Most characters are fully dressed but barefoot, although there are some shoe-wearing exceptions. |
| 414 | * Most of the all-anthro cast of ''Webcomic/OzyAndMillie'' have shoe-free outfits, with some prominent exceptions. Ozy, Avery, and Ms. Sorkowitz are {{Half Dressed Cartoon Animal}}s. Meanwhile, Isolde is both a FullyDressedCartoonAnimal and TheOneWhoWearsShoes, as was Ms. Mudd in some early strips. Also, Locke is never shown without his pirate boots (except in an early arc where he impersonates Millie). |
| 415 | %% * Most characters in ''Webcomic/PeterAndCompany''. |
| 416 | %% ** Slightly {{Exploited}} [[http://peterandcompany.com/20110801 here]] when Peter and Iggy wade across a creek, and only have to roll up their pant legs in preparation. |
| 417 | %% * The Eldlorian goblins and the Orcs from ''Webcomic/PlanesOfEldlor''. |
| 418 | %% * Most of the cast from ''Webcomic/PoppyOPossum'', including the comic's namesake character. Her bio mentions she has an interest in collecting socks, despite not wearing shoes. |
| 419 | %% * The cast of ''Webcomic/{{Precocious}}''. The only articles of footwear seen so far (outside of guest strips) were part of a [[http://www.precociouscomic.com/archive/comic/2016/01/26 space suit]]. |
| 420 | %% * Katia Managan from ''Webcomic/{{Prequel}}''. ZigZagged and combined with BarefootPoverty, however; she isn't particularly averse to boots, even expressing a desire to purchase some, but she's prone to PerpetualPoverty, [[BarefootPoverty so she can't really afford them]]. She is given a pair fairly early on, but they quickly go missing (along with the entire outfit they came with) [[NoodleIncident after a drunken threesome with a necromancer]]. After spending most of the comic barefoot in a mage's robe, she loses ''that'', too, but gains a new outfit by entering in a dance contest, gaining a new pair of boots with them; no telling when they'll go missing again and she'll be right back to this trope. |
| 421 | %% ** Rajirra in Kvatch is a straighter example of the trope: it being summer in the south of Cyrodiil, she consciously chooses to go around town barefoot. Presumably, this helps with her acrobatics, as she's stated to be fairly adept at those. (Unfortunately for her, an earlier conversation between Katia and Aggy led to a layer of snow covering the ground...) |
| 422 | * Isla Grace Abernathy, the star of ''Webcomic/ProfessorAmazingAndTheIncredibleGoldenFox'', is a human crimefighter who can [[{{Animorphism}} shapeshift into two fox forms]] (bipedal and feral) by using a TransformationTrinket. In anthro form, she wears a tanktop and shorts but no shoes. |
| 423 | %% * The title character of ''Webcomic/RaineDog'' in some early artwork. In the comic proper, the most she ever wears is a BadassLongcoat. |
| 424 | * The all-anthro cast of ''Webcomic/SabrinaOnline'' consists of otherwise-clothed barefooters. While Sabrina herself appears to be a HalfDressedCartoonAnimal, she's actually wearing the furry equivalent of [[NudeColoredClothes Nude Colored Pants]]. |
| 425 | %% * The cast of ''Webcomic/TheSecretLivesOfFlowers''. |
| 426 | %% * Some of the furry characters from ''Webcomic/SequentialArt'', mainly Pip and the Squirrel Girls. |
| 427 | %% * The cast of ''Webcomic/{{SERGOM}}''. |
| 428 | * ''Webcomic/SlightlyDamned'' |
| 429 | ** [[BeastMan Jakkai]], Khamega and [[OurFairiesAreDifferent Fairies]] are all shoeless although some jakkai have covering on their legs. |
| 430 | ** [[OurDemonsAreDifferent Demons]] lack of footwear is addressed [[http://hyenafu.tumblr.com/post/150412088814/ba-dum-tish-patrons-who-donate-2-per-month-can here]], it's explained that their feet are [[MadeOfIron as tough as the rest of them]] so they don't need any as well as the fact that due to their large size and varied appearances, shoes just won't fit them. |
| 431 | * The all-anthro cast of ''Webcomic/{{SSDD}}'' are almost always unshod but otherwise fully clothed, to the point that they go barefoot during military training (but not the actual missions). Lampshaded in [[http://poisonedminds.com/d/20130425.html this strip]], in which a character wonders why his feet have only three toes each, when "having more toes would spread the weight more evenly!" The answer: "[[LazyArtist It would be a pain in the arse]] [[FurriesAreEasierToDraw to draw though!]]" |
| 432 | * The characters from ''Webcomic/TheSuburbanJungle'' are digitigrade {{Funny Animal}}s whose outfits don't include shoes. {{Lampshaded}} in [[http://suburbanjungleclassic.com/?p=2113 one strip]]: |
| 433 | -->'''Conrad:''' I was on tour with a production of ''Theatre/BarefootInThePark''.\ |
| 434 | '''Leona:''' What's so significant about being barefoot in the park?\ |
| 435 | '''Conrad:''' I have no idea, really. It's a pretty whacked-out play. |
| 436 | * In the furry HeroicFantasy world of ''Webcomic/SwordsAndSausages'', nobody seems to wear anything on their feet, unless you count the wrappings Silver the vixen thief has around her ankles. (Because of this, Kiela the feline sorceress is a MagicalBarefooter, a trait that [[DownplayedTrope doesn't make her stand out in this setting]].) However, a significant portion of the male population (including Silver's partner Tor the tiger) wear shorts and long shirts, which makes them look like {{Half Dressed Cartoon Animal}}s. |
| 437 | %% * The Vulpine from ''Webcomic/{{Terinu}}'', who have a digitigrade stance. |
| 438 | %% * All characters but one in ''Webcomic/ThoseDestined''. |
| 439 | %% * In ''Webcomic/{{tinyraygun}}'', this is common among the Levik species. They come from an icy planet and evolved feet tough enough to never really need shoes. |
| 440 | * The furry characters in ''Webcomic/TwoKinds'' tend to be either [[HalfDressedCartoonAnimal mostly]] or [[NoNudityTaboo entirely naked]], but they consistently go barefoot due to their digitigrade foot structure. |
| 441 | * ''Webcomic/{{VHV}}'' features a cast of kangaroo-like space colonists who are fully clothed except for shoes. |
| 442 | %% * The cast of ''Webcomic/VinciAndArty''. |
| 443 | * All of the main anthropomorphic cast of ''Webcomic/TheWhiteboard'' are barefoot even when otherwise fully clothed. Swampy even {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d it in [[http://www.the-whiteboard.com/autowb825.html this strip]]: |
| 444 | -->'''Swamp Fox''': ". . . why do I even ''own'' socks?" |
| 445 | %% * The cast of ''Webcomic/WorkSucks'', except for Socks, who's named after the socks he always wears. |
| 446 | * In the original run of ''Webcomic/TheWorldOfVickiFox'', about half the furry characters (most notably Vicki and her friend Meredith Skunk) usually wore full outfits but went barefoot while the rest wore shoes. When the comic returned from hiatus in 2017, most of the shoe-wearers started going barefoot as well. |
| 447 | ** {{Lampshaded}} in [[http://vickifox.com/comic/strip?id=016 one strip]] which simultaneously invokes both this trope and AllWomenLoveShoes. Meredith's boyfriend Aussie complains when Meredith and Vicki rope him into a shopping trip: |
| 448 | --->'''Aussie''': You'll drag me in every shoe shop in the mall... to buy shoes you don't even wear! |
| 449 | ** Lampshaded again [[http://vickifox.com/comic/strip?id=188 here]]. Vicki and Meredith are about to go on a [[CampingEpisode camping trip]] together, and Vicki suggests they wear boots. |
| 450 | --->'''Meredith:''' I, like, don't wear shoes, 'cept for heels. |
| 451 | %% * Several of the dragons from ''Webcomic/XDragoon''. |
| 452 | %% * The casts of the related webcomics ''Webcomic/YouSayItFirst'', ''Webcomic/NamirDeiter'' and ''Webcomic/NicoleAndDerek''. |
| 453 | [[/folder]] |
| 454 | |
| 455 | [[folder:Web Original]] |
| 456 | * A great deal of anthro/furry artists on the web always draw their characters barefoot, even if they're otherwise dressed perfectly normally, and even in situations where going barefoot is inadvisable (like, say, in snow, though some animals are adapted to snow). Listing specific artists would likely quadruple the length of the list, however. The trope is very rarely lampshaded, and often times not even ''noted''; that is, it's not uncommon for a character's reference sheet to depict the character barefoot, even in multiple different costumes, but even if it goes into great detail about the character's wardrobe preferences, their preferred footwear (or preferred lack thereof) is never brought up. |
| 457 | * '90s cult icon Elmo Aardvark usually appeared fully dressed with a red vest and necktie. He ditched the shoes for his appearance on the self-titled web series ''Elmo Aardvark: Outer Space Detective!'' in 2004. |
| 458 | * Anthros from the ''Literature/TailsSeries'' are always noted for being shoeless. This is most likely because most anthros' feet and footpaws are too big for shoes, and because shoes are generally uncomfortable for them to wear. |
| 459 | %% * Majority of the rabbit repertory company from Starz's ''30-Second Bunnies'' parodies of movies. |
| 460 | %% * Some characters from ''The Wuffers''. |
| 461 | [[/folder]] |
| 462 | |
| 463 | [[folder:Web Videos]] |
| 464 | * Duck from ''WebVideo/DontHugMeImScared'' wears a jacket and shorts, but no shoes. |
