1A character being barefoot is not a trope on its own. You may be looking for one of the following:
2
3* BarefootCaptives: Prisoners, slaves, and people taken/held against their will have their shoes taken away from them.
4* BarefootCartoonAnimal: An anthropomorphic animal who goes barefoot, but is otherwise fully-dressed.
5* BarefootLoon: A lack of footwear used to indicate that someone is quirky, crazy, or out of touch with reality.
6* BarefootPoverty: Characters shown barefoot as a signifier of poverty, since they cannot afford shoes.
7* BarefootSage: A sage or other wise character who's barefoot, usually due to religious asceticism, connection to nature, or [[EccentricMentor mentor eccentricity]].
8* EarthyBarefootCharacter: Characters lives in rural, tribal or even coastal environments where going barefoot is common in the culture. They are typically closer to nature, but they don’t have any magic or special abilities. That falls under the next trope.
9* MagicalBarefooter: A magical character such as an wizard, elf, a fairy etc. is likely to go barefoot. They might also be close to nature in a way like GreenThumb.
10* MartialArtistsAreAlwaysBarefoot: Martial artists are often portrayed as being habitually barefoot even in non-combat situations.
11* PrefersGoingBarefoot: Usually human character who goes barefoot, but also lives in a situation where they can very easily get shoes if they wish, and the surrounding culture wears shoes.
12* SurefootedBarefooter: A character goes barefoot for better agility.
13* UndeadBarefooter: Ghosts, zombies, and other members of the undead who are unshod as an indication there's something unusual about them.
14
15* Alternative Circumstances:
16** LosingAShoeInTheStruggle: If a character is barefoot because they lost their shoes, but does not actually depict PrefersGoingBarefoot or any of its sister tropes.
17** If a character is barefoot because the call to adventure came while they were sleeping or swimming, that falls under PajamaCladHero and WalkingSwimsuitScene rather than PrefersGoingBarefoot.
