I really wish they'd do this. I'd prefer it to be the default when not wearing shoes, or as a toggle option like with showing headgear, but would settle for it being implemented using a glamour item.

Yes, just as nearly all shoes currently in the game do already. That's not an issue. (Or rather it's an issue they've long since taken care of, and wouldn't need to do anything different for this.)

The reason they haven't done it so far is that Yoshi thinks bare feet look weird, and that walking around without shoes on would hurt your feet. (Never mind that that isn't true at all and many people do it routinely.) It is true that in Japan going barefoot outside is rare. But just because he thinks it looks strange to go out barefoot, our characters end up having to wear sandals in a hottub and while sleeping.
