Is bare-foot allowed at Fanime?

[Avairrianna]

There are many types of nude ballet shoes that give the appearance of being barefoot. Like the picture above but some are a full shoe too. That's the best bet I can give.

Me too but if shoes are required go with tennis shoes. It's more authentic then flip flops

Excellent, excellent, all according to plan...

[G.I.R]

I'd agree with wearing shoes instead, but what about stockings?

[SukebeStudios]

Might I suggest...if the character you are cosplaying as is typically barefoot...walk around in flip-flops, or de-laced tennis shoes, and then if asked to pose for pics, take them off for the pic, then put them back on when needing to walk some more. I believe that would be ok, right?

Next year I plan on going as Dark Rukia. She's barefoot but I plan on wearing regular shinigami shoes.

[narutofan17]

Jiraiya's Geta shoes hurt like b!@#h...but I guess I can deal. FOR COSPLAYING! XD

[Jerry]

would socks but no shoes be considered as barefoot?

then why not get skin/tan colored socks? and then draw toes on them?

i dunno just an idea.


again better safe that sorry.

ring worms = eeewww = swine flu = bad mojo. :P

If I recall from working other non-anime Cons many years ago, the policy for San Jose city property was:
No bare feet. (It's difficult it is to get blood out of the carpeting.) 

I speak from experience... I have a crescent shaped scar on the bottom of my right foot where I stepped on a broken bottle that was burried in the sand at Davenport Beach... That was back in '83 and it took 55 stitchs to close it.  It was deliberately place in a way that someone would eventually step on it.  Now I always wear shoes at the beach.

As a infant I somehow made my way on to the stove and, do to the stove having a push start button, hurt my foot severally and had 3rd degree burns on it. I have a now barely visible scar because of it.
And I remember all the times I walked barefoot in the country side I used to live. Stepped on several rusty nails in my day.
Yes, Barefoot is definitely a bad idea in outdoor situations, as well as inside.
