Toning it down would be enough, like disabling low break so the characters dont walk around barefoot, which always looks very strange, cuz they are clean lol
For me at least, I never really had an issue with characters being barefoot after a break, mostly because I almost exclusively play customs, so i'm kinda use to it. , and the only set of socks that don't look trash i find are the tabi, and those only really work with japanese style characters. Personally the only characters i find the barefoot break out of place on are Asta, Sophie and X. With Kilik it kind of isn't too bad imo, cause at least whatever the thingies he is wearing under his pants are ripped. With Maxi, Talim (I'm Assuming) and Raph, theres not really much else one can do with an armor break to keep it consistent. I understand people's pains with X cause the stockings could have just broken. but tbh, AFAIK, there aren't even that many characters that are made barefoot by armor break anyway. Sieg, Voldo, Taki, Nighty, Cervy, Geralt, Yoshi, Zas, and Ivy don't get forced barfoot. Not sure about Tira, Mina and azwel though. Asta is messed up though. I hate it. Genuinely hate it. It doesn't look right and it scares me. Asta needs to stop skipping leg day.
You could just ask for a toggleable low break á la SF voice language. If you don't like characters being barefoot, disable it. If you don't mind, say, Ivy's low break, then don't disable it.. Just choose who you want to have a low break and who you don't. Everyone wins.
Edit: I just like the armor break as it is because it is consistent. Just my two cents.
