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. Likewise, many Youtubers film their videos in their homes, so simply seeing their feet once in awhile isn't enough for this trope unless they specifically discuss that they enjoy being barefoot.

* In ''Webcomic/DumbingOfAge'', 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 ''[[Wecomic/{{Walkyverse}} 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.)

* Several of the children in ''WesternAnimation/CraigOfTheCreek'' 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 NatureHero - 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.

* ''Series/OceanGirl'': Being a WildChild, Neri goes barefoot at any opportunity. 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 [[ApparentlyHumanMerfolk her]] [[HumanAliens race]] don't wear anything on their feet, as it would impede their ability to swim.

When offered a pair of blue elf shoes (with ''bells'') from an elf, Jack cringes and stops the ceremony immediately. Near the end of the story, it is revealed that he walked on ice barefoot [[spoiler:even as a human]].

She herself walks home barefoot, and ends up liking it so much that she decides to attend school barefoot the very next day, and stays that way the entire day despite the taunts of her classmates.
