Subject: Long discussion on Youtube (with Koby Deane)

I came across this interview that addresses a lot of things. It's a bit lengthy but worth listening to as it discusses a lot of the benefits of going barefoot as you grow up. (And there's a book for kids about going barefoot mentioned as well.)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=df2rw3eL_1w

Author's website: https://barfooza.com/ (also interesting the "footnotes to parents" with further sources).

Now personally I find this style of illustration falls into the "uncanny valley" (computer generated artwork trying to look realistic but clearly not the real thing creating a spooky effect). I like the idea though and I think there could be more age-appropriate stories of barefoot content (a real-world hero of the story who happens to live barefoot in today's world and ... maybe the obvious advantages of this could play a role in the story).
