It'll be a health and safety issue actually. You can pick up nasty stuff via your feet and being trodden on by the teeming masses hurts even with shoes.

You would have to ask the event staff. I have thought of ways to make it look like I have bare feet for one of my costumes- it involves Pros Aide, thin foam and clear straps.

A costume that I'm considering involves bare feet, but I've heard of conventions overseas where bare feet will get you kicked out (presumably for looking too scruffy/hobo/hippie) so I thought I'd better check, just in case.

I guess I could bring shoes and take them off for photos, but I'd rather not have to carry them around all day.


I was barefoot last year.

Doesn't mean it's allowed though. Always check, you never want to be the test case.

I got told off when i went round barefooted at one point (my shoes were killing my feet).

They said it was due to safety and health reasons.

A good solution is to just wear a pair of Jandles or Slip on shoes that way you can quickly pop them on and off if need be :)

Yeah my Chii cosplay this year is barefoot, but I'm just making some shoes that match the outfit instead, so that's always an option too~

yea.. one of my cosplays I think is meant to be in barefoot but I'm going to ninja a pair of jandals into the costume (coz I have long pants that cover most of my foot).
Quite exciting actually, I've never owned jandals and my first pair is for cosplay!!!

i went bare footed last year for a bit of the expo.
yea make sure you walk your shoes in before u wear them, and if you have shoes like mine (beach sandal with cloth over them) wear socks as you mite have sore feet after awhile.
i got big blisters from my ninja shoes. thats why i was kinda limping and running round with barefeet lol

Question: is it okay if I use wood as a base for a prop? It'll be inside styrofoam and cardboard, so I don't think it'll hurt anyone, it's just that I need a sturdy center for it and I think that'll be the best option... x_X;;

Yeah, sort of similar query to the above. My shoes are made of wood (like this) and I'm hoping I'll be able to wear them in the Con. I'm not going to be kicking people or anything in them or anything (unless someone shoves me over on purpose... but I'm not solely responsible for what may come accidentally after that, right? >____>).

@neimhaille
in regards to this question,
Quote:
Describe the creation process of YOUR costume, be as descriptive as you can especially detailing how YOU made it and what from:

Does it matter if we don't know what kind of fabrics we used? I don't mind bringing a sample of all of them but I don't really know all their names sweatdrop

It's ok, most fabric stores don't label their fabrics properly anyway ;) Seriously, quite frustrating.

As much as you can say for what you did, don't stress too much about it.

@Mischa: I know the answer to that one is yes - that's what we did last year. :)
