Aretifism
Aretifism is a sexual attraction to people who are without footwear. While such people are necessarily barefoot (or possibly in stocking soles), the attraction is not to the foot but to its naked vulnerability.
Historical, lack of shoes was associated with submission before authority, and with servants and slaves, and so aretifism is often associated with the D/s aspect of BDSM. Another explaination could be that the individual in question loves the idea of feeling dirt, grass and soil under there feet. And finds societies ideas surrounding footwear to be constraining, but instead of acting out that desire himself he stimulates it by developing a sexual fetish towards walking and seeing barefoot people.
