I looked at it, elves have the same footsteps barefoot and with boots. Which is good as the elven boots leave the feet bare, at least the soles. And that's a cunning design (although I don't allege that Larian thought it through) because people used to go barefoot have sturdy and resistant soles and most protection is needed for the top of the feet.
I hope the lizards get it right in the release.
