<p>131.220.244.123: characters wearing nothing but shoes; de-stubbed</p> <hr /> <div>:''See [[Wikipedia:Shoe_(comic_strip)|Shoe]] if you're looking for information on the comic strip by Jeff MacNelly.''<br /> <br /> '''Shoes''' are items of [[clothing]] to cover and protect the soles (and often more) of the feet (or [[paw|paws]]) an individual walks on. Similar protection coverings for the hands are called [[glove|gloves]]. Besides protection, shoes also function as an indication of social status, as they are expensive to manufacture and usually wear out fairly quickly.<br /> <br /> [[Zoomorphic]] furries can often not wear shoes made for [[human|humans]] due to their differently shaped feet. The design of shoes for furries is a topic of [[furgonomics]]. As custom-made shoes are expensive and foot-covering of any kind will limit the use of natural features of the foot like [[claw|claws]], a significant number of furries will go barefoot (or [[Free paws|barepawed]], as it is called), unless environmental hazards unencountered in natural environments mandate a protection.<br /> <br /> The other extreme, a furry [[character]] wearing no [[Clothing|clothes]] but only shoes, can occasionally be encountered. This is less common for [[furry art]] and [[furry fiction|literature]], but for [[real life]] mascots and company logos.<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> * [[Zoomorphic]]<br /> * [[Clothing]]<br /> * [[Furgonomics]]<br /> * [[Free Paws]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Clothing]]</div>
