Basic Trope: An undead being that is barefoot.
- Straight: Zach the zombie never wears any shoes.
- Exaggerated:
- Undead beings never wear any shoes at all, even when they'd be reasonably expected to.
- Zach not only forgoes shoes, but wears (little to) nothing at all.
- Downplayed: Zach only wears open-toed shoes or foot bandages.
- Justified:
- Zach simply Prefers Going Barefoot.
- Zach cannot fit in shoes, for whatever reason.
- Zach died and/or was buried without any shoes, and doesn't feel the need to wear them now.
- Zach lacks the nimbleness needed to put shoes on, and any he was wearing when he died have since decayed away.
- Inverted:
- Undead beings will wear footwear at all times.
- Undead beings wear footwear, but living things don't.
- Undead beings only wear shoes.
- Subverted: Zach is just cosplaying as a zombie for a Zombie walk
, and took off his shoes as a part of the costume. - Double Subverted: Zach is an actual zombie who decided to take part in the Zombie walk, which is why he could afford to ditch shoes for his costume.
