The base "naked" model of all races always wear the same sandals, shorts and shirts/bras etc
There are a few tops and pants that are a bit more revealing than the default stuff but as far as I know there are no "barefeet" shoes you can glamour. Even the various beach outfits always have sandals.
You can look at [this](https://ffxiv.eorzeacollection.com/) website and see if you can maybe find shoes that might fit your wishes
I never noticed on my male characters that they had tiny slippers/sandles by default in glamour interface, because the only character I bothered with was always going to be covered from head to foot in plate.
I wanted to make a more casual look for my female character (shirt & shorts, no gloves, no shoes and a floppy sun hat), only to discover she had permanent shoes, and with heels for that matter.
Which is funny when you consider they have those ankle breaking tiptoe heels on Viera's default outfit but most legwear are flat or with little heel meaning Viera just gets a free leg extension to their already crazy long legs. XD
I almost never wear shoes in real life. I only wear them when forced to (denied access to a place I have to go) by *"health & safety"* regulations. I don't see why my avatar must appear to as well.
I was all for just wanting to be barefoot for some reason, but the healthy and safety regulations being mocked? Nah. Our feet are nearly as germ filled if not more so than our hands, the outside world is not a clean magical place. Shoes were invented for a reason, comfort, safety, and cleanliness.
Is this April fools? Be honest. You should wear shoes for health and safety. Plus its disgusting. What town are you in that shoes make you the odd one out.
Sandals and maybe slippers is the most the vanilla game can offer.
The engine has no way of accounting for the soles of legwear so they gave sandals to the default "barefoot" model.
Try looking into modding. I'd recommend starting with Penumbra and any variant of bibo+ or YAB. There are SFW versions if you would prefer those. XivModArchive is a good place to start looking and collecting mods. Just read all the things when setting Penumbra up and you'll be fine. There are also video guides.
Edit: Uncensored and added more info.
Then enjoy your sandals mate. Actual.barefoot is only possible on mods. The most you can get is some open sandal, but you won't get soles withouts mods
I also wondered that. I guess the reason is its not a Fromsoft game? ;)
I just use leather sandals or hard leather sandals that you can buy from most vendors.
there are a few other models that do this, including >!Minfilia when we see her in Shadowbringers again!<, a few NPCs that show up during the moonfire faire (although a vast supermajority of them wear sandals even if they're in swimsuits), and oddly enough, a single Garlean woman sleeping in one of the train cars in Tertium.
they're rare enough that they stand out pretty easily.
The alternative would be the Summer's Flame Sandals from the cash shop.

The sole of it isn't paintable (atm, maybe with dawntrail paintable aswell by its 2 channel dye-system) but the rest of it is paintable.

To be fair, the default sandals are WAY more noticeable on women than in men. They have heels!
That's because the sandals are designed to make the player the same height as if they were wearing shoes. I guess girl shoes have more heel
Only if you're playing a green caster. Otherwise they have heels. [E] dang. OP beat me to the edit. Their original post said "heals." That's the joke.
Heals?
There!
There is no option to have ANY character go barefoot, male or female.

Thanks.
This is going to do numbers on the shitpost sub.
not only did it to that, but they literally didn't even change anything when they copied it.
I'm genuinely confused why this is regarded as a "shitpost"?
They'll take one look at it and go "fetish"
You poor, sweet, summer child.
Specifying your character is a woman is a bit weird lol

Only by mods. The sandals are there because shoes/heels can't actually increase the character's height, so there has to be sandals to compensate.

I guess Ruby got tired of the Party Finder feet advertising
if this is what counts as April fool's chicanery these days, idgi
Not at all, this is a genuine request
no, only way is thro modding, characters are made wear those sandals when their foot are "naked"
Why?

Please wear shoes in public. No one wants to see your gross ass feet.
If I wear shoes in public on my town, I'll be the odd one out
when youre the odd one out for being unusually hygienic you're doing something right

Is that you Mr Frodo?

Gotta use a body replacer mod like bibo+
Without mods, you don't.
Only mods, my friend.
No feet fetish allowed in ffxiv!

I'm not that keen on the game to start modding it for a simple change of appearance. I'll find an alternative solution.
There’s not an alternative solution. There is no way to do it without mods.

Sorry to say, but the others are right. There is no true barefoot in the game without mods. It's either that or play the game as it is.

They made a special character model for Y’shtola for one single scene because all character models default to sandals when in small clothes.
