{{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 go barefoot (or bare-''pawed'', if you want to get technical), but are otherwise fully clothed by human standards. As the number of examples demonstrates, this is a common trope in works featuring {{Funny Animal}}s. Here are some possible reasons:

* The trope may be {{justified}} by the characters having hooves, large claws, or oddly-shaped hind paws which it would be difficult for shoes to accommodate. Why shoes aren't simply made for their feet in a world where they're not that unusual is a different matter: perhaps the fur and thick soles of their feet make shoes unnecessary, as with Tolkien's {{hobbits}}.

* There's another possible explanation for this, more or less based in RuleOfPerception: Generally, anthropomorphic animals (especially of the PettingZooPeople 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 animal-people would have long sleeves to accommodate their tails as well, but strangely, almost nobody ever depicts such a thing.)

Spats without shoes or socks count as this trope because they do not cover the soles of the feet.

TheOneWhoWearsShoes is about {{aversion}}s of this trope, especially {{Civilized Animal}}s and {{Funny Animal}}s who use footwear when going barefoot is normal for the setting.

A lot of {{Half Dressed Cartoon Animal}}s also happen to be barefoot, so to keep things cleaner, this page only covers those who are otherwise properly-dressed.

Most of these characters have HumanlikeFootAnatomy.

There, several characters go barefoot, including a fair portion of the main cast (Rotor, Bunnie pre-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). ''SonicTheComic'' had a few instances, as well. Official, straight-from-the-game characters generally end up as [[TheOneWhoWearsShoes the ones who wear shoes]] in all cases, albeit not the only ones.

* Garr from ''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.
* A couple of mutant animals from the ''CrashBandicoot'' series also has this such as Koala Kong and the Komodo Brothers. The rest tend to be fully clothed or naked.
* The beast races in ''TheElderScrollsThreeMorrowind'', 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 ''TheElderScrollsFourOblivion'', where they are able to do just that.

All of his armor in the next few games featured boots, but in ''[[RatchetAndClankSizeMatters Size Matters]]'' he appeared in his original outfit again. When he next appeared in casual clothes (in ''[[RatchetAndClankFutureToolsOfDestruction Tools of Destruction]]''), he was wearing boots again (as well as overalls).
* Several versions of ReaderRabbit.
* The cast of ''ReworkTheDeadEvil''.
* Inverted with the ''SonicTheHedgehog'' games, 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.)
** Played straight with every single player character in ''SonicsSchoolhouse'', although due to the first-person viewpoint, you have to play two-player to realize this.

* The cast of ''{{SSDD}}''.
* The characters from ''TheSuburbanJungle''.
** {{Lampshaded}} in [[http://suburbanjungleclassic.com/?p=2113 one strip]]:
-->'''Conrad''': I was on tour with a production of ''BarefootInThePark''.
-->'''Leona''': What's so significant about being barefoot in the park?
-->'''Conrad''': I have no idea, really. It's a pretty whacked-out play.
* The Vulpine from ''{{Terinu}}'', who have a platigrade stance.
* All characters but one in ''ThoseDestined''.
* The furry characters in ''TwoKinds''.
* All of the main cast of ''Webcomic/TheWhiteboard''.
** {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d in [[http://www.the-whiteboard.com/autowb825.html this strip]]:
-->'''Swamp Fox''': ". . . why do I even ''own'' socks?"
* Several furry characters in ''TheWorldOfVickiFox'', including Vicki herself and Meredith Skunk.
** {{Lampshaded}} in [[http://vickifox.com/Comics/index.php?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:
-->'''Aussie''': "You'll drag me in every shoe shop in the mall... to buy shoes you don't even wear!"
* The cast of ''YouSayItFirst'' and ''NamirDeiter''.

* 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). 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 ([[DoesNotLikeShoes or preference to go barefoot]]) is never brought up.
* '90s cult icon ElmoAardvark 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.
* Bethany from ''GameDogs'', which gets outright surreal in [[http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/game-dogs/1499-Episode-Eight-Jennifer episode 8]] when Jennifer mentions her 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 may have intended it as some sort of StealthInsult.
* Majority of the rabbit repertory company from Starz's ''30-Second Bunnies'' parodies of movies.
* Some characters from ''TheWuffers''.

* Minerva Mink and HowardStern parody Howie Tern from ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}''.
* The blue Aardvark from ''WesternAnimation/TheAntAndTheAardvark'' has a [[NudeColoredClothes matching blue t-shirt and shorts]]. Majority of the characters in this cartoon series are all solid colors, which also includes one's clothing or other costumes.
* The cast of ''WesternAnimation/AroundTheWorldWithWillyFog''.
** There was a bit in ''AroundTheWorldInEightyDays'' where Passepartout is put on trial for sacrilege, with his lost shoes as evidence. In ''WillyFog'', the incriminating item was changed to Rigadon's hat for this reason.
* [[ImaginaryFriend Nadine]] from ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}''.
* Uniqua and Austin from ''WesternAnimation/TheBackyardigans'' (applies occasionally to most of the characters' various costumes on select episodes.)

* Chuckie Chan and several supporting characters from ''ChopSockyChooks''.

* [[CourageousCatAndMinuteMouse Courageous Cat and his sidekick Minute Mouse]].
* Most characters from ''DangerRangers''.
* Wulf in ''DannyPhantom''.
* Annie from NASCAR's ''DiggerAndFriends'' series (not to be confused with Webcomic/{{Digger}}). Marbles initially had a gray and orange jumpsuit in the merchandising art, but wore [[HalfDressedCartoonAnimal just a gray and orange T-shirt]] when the animated shorts were produced.
* Several of the dinosaur characters from ''WesternAnimation/{{Dinosaucers}}''.
* Driver Dan the lion from ''DriverDansStoryTrain''.
* Peter Puppy in the ''WesternAnimation/EarthwormJim'' cartoon, where he sports a shirt and some shorts, but no shoes; in the [[VideoGame/EarthwormJim source game]], however, he's completely nude.
* ''{{Eckhart}}'' the mouse and several supporting characters from the self-titled Canadian series.

* Seven of the 9 Lives of ''[[UncleCrocsBlock Fraidy Cat]]'' have costumes that apply to this trope.
** #2 Kitty Wizard; #3 Captain Kitt, a pirate; #4 Sir Walter Cat, a noble cat; #5 Billy the Kit, a cowboy; #6 Jasper Catdaver, an undertaker; #7 Captain Eddie Cattenbakker, a pilot; #8 Hep Cat, a cat in a zoot suit.

* GaryTheRat from the self-titled series.
* Bobo Haha, the [[TalkingAnimal talking monkey]] who is ''WesternAnimation/GeneratorRex'''s NonHumanSidekick.

* Paw Rugg and Floral Rugg from ''TheHillbillyBears''.
* Rhubarb and Musselmutt from WesternAnimation/TheHoundcats. (The others [[HalfDressedCartoonAnimal don't wear pants]].)
* Some supporting characters from ''JakersTheAdventuresOfPiggleyWinks'', including Ferny Toro and Hector [=MacBadger=].
* Some characters from ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPandaLegendsOfAwesomeness'', notably Hundun and Master Chao.
* Wilford Wolf from ''KwickyKoala''.
* Ironically, Lapitch Mouse from ''LapitchTheLittleShoemaker'', switches in and out between this trope and FullyDressedCartoonAnimal. Other supporting characters including the main villain Dirty Rat are a part of this trope as well.

* Kermit, Fozzie and Animal from ''MuppetBabies''.
* Some characters from ''WesternAnimation/MyGymPartnersAMonkey''. (Jake Spidermonkey is a HalfDressedCartoonAnimal.)
* A few debatable cases in ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic''; although they're more ''hooves'' than feet, and despite the fact that [[AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal they don't usually wear much in the way of clothes anyway]], a couple of the various outfits and costumes they wear throughout the series either lack footwear entirely, or put footwear on the fore hooves (hand equivalents) while leaving the hind hooves (foot equivalents) unshod. Some examples of the latter scenario would be Applejack's boots and Rainbow Dash's gauntlet/slipper things in their respective Grand Galloping Gala costumes, as well as Rarity's slippers from her bathrobe outfit during her breakdown in [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E14SuitedForSuccess "Suited For Success"]].
** Spike the dragon, who actually ''does'' have feet, is always barefoot, even in the few situations where he's otherwise wearing a full outfit (such as the getup he's tossed into in [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E3TheTicketMaster "The Ticket Master"]] or his bard outfit from [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E13HearthsWarmingEve "Hearth's Warming Eve"]]).
* Oakly the Beaver and Victor Vole from ''TheMysteriesOfAlfredHedgehog''.
* Kind of hard to tell in the [[EasternEuropeanAnimation Russian cartoon]] ''NuPogodi''. The presence of Wolf's claws and what ''might'' be paw pads seem to imply this is the case, but everyone's drawn as if they're wearing slippers. Later episodes make it a little clearer that this is the case.
* Some supporting characters from ''WesternAnimation/TheOddballCouple''. (Fleabag is a HalfDressedCartoonAnimal while Spiffy and Goldie Hound are {{Fully Dressed Cartoon Animal}}s.)
* The [[FunnyAnimal anthro pig characters]] from ''{{Olivia}}''.
* Rat characters Scrag and Mr. Flea from ''Series/{{Pearlie}}''.
* Some of the characters from ''{{Pecola}}''.
** The characters on the show are designed in an origami/cubed style. Though they have flat oval-shaped orbs for paws, those that are the same color as the character's hands and face are considered barefoot by default. The only exception are the penguin characters (who [[HalfDressedCartoonAnimal don't wear pants]], by the way) that have webbed toes.
* Bright Eyes and Nose Marie from ''PoundPuppies''.
* Huey, Dewey and Louie from ''WesternAnimation/QuackPack''.

* The ''WesternAnimation/{{Sandokan}}'' [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandokan#Animated_series animated series]]. This one doesn't seem to have an exception.
* ''WesternAnimation/ScaredySquirrel'' from the the self-titled series. A few supporting characters, including series regular Paddy the ferret, were a part of this trope as well.
* Three of the ''SchoolhouseRock'' shorts featured [[FunnyAnimal funny animals]] that fit this trope: ''Lucky Seven Sampson'' (a white rabbit with a number 7 on his left foot), the pool hustler cat in ''Naughty Number Nine'', and the worker ants in ''Busy Prepositions''.
* In ''TheSecretLivesOfWaldoKitty'', majority of the supporting characters in the animated segments had costumes that applied to this trope.
* One and Five from ''SevenLittleMonsters''. One wears a tank top, shorts and a ballcap while Five wears yellow overalls.
** Although having [[HalfDressedCartoonAnimal just an oversized t-shirt]] as his regular wardrobe, Three dons a different costume pertainable to the plot of each episode, in which case a good 1/3 of his wardrobe applies to this trope.
* [[ThePoochie Poochie]] from ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' goes back and forth between this trope and FullyDressedCartoonAnimal.
* Many characters from another Australian cartoon, ''WesternAnimation/SkippyAdventuresInBushtown''.
* Some supporting characters from ''TheSmokeyBearShow''. The main character [[HalfDressedCartoonAnimal has a bottom, but no top]].
* The SpaceCats.
* Some of the humanoid animal beings known as the Beastials from ''SpiderManUnlimited''.
* Lt. M'Ress from ''StarTrekTheAnimatedSeries''.
* From ''WesternAnimation/SWATKats'': T-Bone and Razor in their pilot suits, as well as Dark Kat. Somewhat odd given that everyone else on the show wears shoes, including the main characters in their civilian attire.

* Many ''WesternAnimation/TaleSpin'' characters, including Rebecca and Molly Cunningham, Wildcat and Shere Khan in the main cast.

* Some characters from ''{{Thundercats}}''
** All the BeastFolk and PettingZooPeople of ''[[WesternAnimation/{{Thundercats 2011}} [=ThunderCats=] (2011)]]'', [[TheOneWhoWearsShoes excepting]] Leo and Panthera. {{Justified|Trope}} in the case of the series' {{cat|folk}}s, shown using their foot claws to [[WallCrawl climb]] structures like the giant tree featured in their [[{{Ridiculympics}} games]]. Noble Cats do make a point of wearing spats for fashion's sake.
* Babs Bunny, Hamton J. Pig, Roderick Rat (sometimes a HalfDressedCartoonAnimal) and Rhubella Rat from ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures''.
* Some characters from ''ToadPatrol''.
* ''TootAndPuddle''.
