I'm reminded of So Long, and Thanks for all the Fish, where Arthur's new girlfriend floats a few centimeters off the floor, and hardly anyone notices, because really? Who looks that closely at people's feet?
I work in games, and this is actually not true. The various foot gear we have vary widely in size of the foot and height (take a look at that one foot gear from pvp that resemble hoofs). The foot/shoe models are created with a variance on where the foot starts and stops, without changing our character's height;
These pictures were taken from the same camera angle, yet look at the difference in height from the base of the feet and the ground (if i had a choice as the the modeler, i'd use the ninja kyahan as a base to create a bare-foot "boot").
There isn't anything tech-wise preventing SE from creating a bare-foot look. It's as easy as creating a new boot. The only thing that stops them from doing so is... well they just don't want to.

I'm a Ninja.
The emperor's boots do work, but they show grecian style sandals:
Notice how a good part of the foot is truncated with Lord's Clogs:
And Summer Sandals:
I wouldn't mind my character appearing to be floating if they got rid of the texture for a sole. But square shouldn't need to do this. They can always "extend the ankle" with texturing.
Elezen feet

I'm in support of this, barefoot would be a nice option.
