Please as a toggle to turn off boots
Or add a toggle for everything.

Baby steps, can’t push for too much at once.
Mostly I think this could be a solution for the general lack of design in transitioning the boot designs to nonhuman races of the game (especially the charr and asura).
I want the toggle off boots, but then all those leggins look silly when they end in the middle of nowhere on them legs Also I know some people wanted skimpy male outfits so toggle off chest would come in handy as well. And, heck, the gloves sometimes are there when you don’t really need them. So I’m for toggle off everything!
Which “leggins” exactly?
I mean leg pieces in general. They end where boots supposed to be covering them. With no logical end, fold back or something.

I’ve really used many of the skins that have that particular effect. Once I get some time I would like to go through the wardrobe to see.
Do you have any picture to give me a place to start (or a gender/race/armor weight to start with).
I’d like to see a toggle visibility option for footwear too, especially since it seems that with some light/medium armours, the boots appear to be an afterthought (although on certain races, it seems entire armour sets were an afterthought – see: Charr) and suitable alternatives sometimes end up clipping the greaves.
Apparently, Anet has responded to a suggestion like this before and have basically said no. The only reason we got toggleable shoulders/gloves was because of clipping issues and yet clipping issues remain with boots. Hmm….
No….just no…let’s all run around naked killing stuff…gloves….understandable….helm and shoudlers…udnerstandable…but the rest…must be there….
“We are now! We are forever!”

The human queen and several norn Wolfborn walk around with no shoes on, so there’s an in-game precedent for people doing just fine without shoes.
delicate, brick-like subtlety.
Is it bad that I don’t want a bunch of naked people streaking everywhere?

Everyone can unequip the armor and run around naked….or without boots…but no…..

I fail to see how not wearing boots equates to “running around naked”.

Because it is suggested that the toggle option be made available for all pieces of the armor set, in this very thread. Another poster even said, “baby steps.” It is what some people want. I would bet all the gold I have that if that option were available — then we would see a lot of people playing with naked characters. Not a majority of players, mind, but just enough so the bar in this game gets lowered a bit more.
I am all for new armor sets that showcase more of the different racial bodies more…. but I will never support the ability for players to play “naked” yet fully geared.

Another game I play, Rift actually has the option to hide everything and I’ve rarely seen naked characters running around – I really don’t think people are that childish. On the flip side, I have already seen several players in GW2 running around naked on the server I’m on (Piken Square) and I don’t think adding more toggle options is going to suddenly make more players do the same.
Having said that, I wouldn’t really want to see toggleable chest and leg armour options, but perhaps better armour sets like you mention – for instance for Norn, there’s currently no point choosing a skin with tattoos when they can’t be seen, or a Sylvari with a lot of bioluminescence on their skin, completely hidden by armour.

Ascended medium armor has this awkward cut off on female asura (without the shoes) if you want to preview to see.
The hemless pants don’t really bother me. And I’m very familiar with which boots make my asura feet look human shaped and which don’t. That said, it would be pretty cool to be barefoot sometimes. I look at asura feet and think “why do they need shoes anyway?”

I often think the same about the Charr. The footwear they end up with often look incredibly painful, especially for heavy armour. then again, they’re Charr – pain is probably something to be relished!
I’d love the ability to toggle off everything.
That is all.

I’m down with the barefoot thing. One of my biggest design challenges in this game is footwear. And there are some ‘looks’ I’ve seen that would be great with barefeet.
