📋 About This Mod
There are a lot of armors in game that have barefoot leggings, but even though the character steps in all kinds of things they seem to stay clean all times, so i made a small adjustment and added dark soles that are visible when barefoot to be more realistic.
I also like painted dark nails, so i added black painted nails and toenails as well, there is a version with just the dirty feet and a version with just the black nails as well as a version with both. For now its female only.
It will probably affect other characters as well, such as the Fire Keeper, but will be hard to see.
There is also an optional version for Sister Friede if you have Ashes of Ariandel, and comes with multiple versions.
