I actually loved her big, clunky boots. They're the sorta thing I would put in a character design for a waif-like girl, because they emphasize the "waif" aspect.
Although she did seem more graceful barefoot, I'm gonna go with boots.

Waiting on a TRS slot? Finishing off one of these cleaning efforts will usually open one up."Did you honestly expect a different outcome?"
I didn't expect many others to have a foot fetish like I do.

You lost!Boots. I never understood the Foot Focus thing, although it did serve to give her extra creep factor. I just think she looked better in boots.
Happiness is zero-gee with a sinus cold.I did the same poll at IMDB. More people definitely prefer River barefoot.
I wonder if Summer Glau is aware that her own feet have a fanbase.
Like creepy stories? Check out my book!I'd have to say boots, if only because the squickiness of foot fetishism has left me with an aversion to bare feet. I'm not actually capable of seeing River as attractive or cute, though, since she reminds me too much of how disturbing it is to be around my mentally ill brother. Oddly, Summer's character in the 4400 didn't have that effect on me, despite actually being schizophrenic.
It's funny how most people at Firefly Fans.net are either neutral, or prefer her with boots on. I guess there are more foot fetishists here at TV Tropes.

Was she ever shown taking her boots off?

River Tam, with her boots on, or going bare foot? What makes her look better?
I vote barefoot. She looked so cute walking around the ship that way. :D
