barefootedness
State without shoes
The state of being barefoot—having nothing on one's feet.
The word is rarely needed, since going barefoot or being barefoot serves most purposes.
When it does appear, it often emphasizes the condition as notable or deliberate: The barefootedness of the children troubled the social worker.
