Guild Wars 2

Hello I would like to suggest that we get an option to hide shoes. It would add to the immersion and customization as many NPCs, especially Norns tote around barefooted. When I saw the human elementalist trainer and some of the Norn NPCs I actually though this was a customization option, but alas it wasn’t.

The ability to hide shoes wouldn’t impact the ability to distinguish the armor type and class of the character you are fighting against. As chest and leg armor explain most if not all of the class identity of a character.

I’ve heard that many players think that shoes on Asuras and Charr look unnatural or ugly. So it would cater quite well for people who feel right with those races, but dont feel right with how the boot armor looks.

There are also clipping issues with some shoes and leg armors that can be quite easily searched for in the PvP locker. So a hide option would help here too.

Pls gief. :<

I second this.

Moreover, with my main character a mesmer charr the appearance of the shoes do not fit their purpose.
The sole of the shoes usually extends to their ankle, but they do not need any support near their ankle. The sole would only obstruct their movement.

If i would have to change it I would redesign the whole shoe or give the option to remove the shoe circumventing the isue.

The lack of footwear goes really well with the nature/animal attunement of most of the races. (the exception being humans)
