New cloths on asura
Pretty sure that’s intentional. The vast majority of Asuran shoes (male and female, light, medium, and heavy armor) are like that with very few exceptions. It’s just a cultural style.
Think about it as if there were really such a thing as an Asura. Their inner toes angle in towards each other. Adding a cover would also add half an inch to an inch of length, and they would probably bang their toes on each other all the time when they walked.
They also originated as underground critters. Hence the digging claws on both hands and feet. They would probably be fine going barefoot most of the time as they do in their town clothes.
And lastly, I am glad they have some style of their own. Most of the non-human armors are just restyled human models. Even if it’s just a couple of toes. It may look funny to you, but I don’t think it’s poor artistry. I think they are exactly as they were designed.
Set a man on fire, and he’ll be warm the rest of his life.

I used to think Asuran feet side-claws were meant to be covered, but they are fine with them being exposed and functional. A practical solution to footwear. Very Asuran style.
