Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions
The tag alias #81905 no_shoes -> invalid_tag is pending approval.
Reason: "no_shoes" is used largely as a synonym for "barefoot." However, I think that an invalidation is more appropriate than an alias to "barefoot," because the tag is also sometimes used to mean "socks_only."
So, it's a redundant tag, but it's used in place of two existing tags, not just one.
Maybe alias to shoes_removed?

Shoes removed is supposed to be only for images where there are shoes in them. So character with bare feet, but shoes near them, according to the wiki.

Isn't that discarded_footwear (once called shoes_off)?

So probably shoes_removed or discarded_footwear should be aliased to the other and then no_shoes to invalid, I think that’d make the most sense.
If a character is wearing socks, they are not barefoot, as socks count as a clothing item. Therefore, I agree with the invalidation of no_shoes.
discarded_footwear should still be valid if the footwear has been left aside, similar to discarded_clothing. This is useful when a character removes their footwear in a rush, throws it aside and it remains visible.
shoes_removed has no use for me, as I can use barefoot or socks and tag the type of shoe that is visible.
I think this should be disambiguation rather than entirely nuked considering the number valid tags this could mean.
