they already explained they can't do it, for the reason of coding height correctly.
On the contrary, making adjustments to a character's height is not a requirement for implementing a barefoot feature. I think most of the people that desire this feature would rather have a barefoot character that floats just a tiny bit above the ground (as if they were wearing invisible shoes) than not have this feature at all.
