Actually, Coriakin represents a classic "eccentric but wise" character. So I suppose it may simply be one of his idiosyncrasies (remember Dumbledore, he had lots of them). What do you think?

To me, being barefoot connotes a closeness to nature. Not symbolically, but in a sensory way. It also indicates a sort of freedom and the possibility of spontaneity. No one who works a 9-5 job goes barefoot. Being a star would make Coriakin part of nature, so being barefoot seems to fit him well in that sense. I think it also makes him seem young-at-heart.

Good answer Nomad, and much more insightful than what I was just thinking ... that being a star, he probably kept accidentally setting his shoes on fire.

Hi VKBR,
In order to understand why Coriakin always appear barefoot, you need to go in the history. I think there are some religious reason behind it. Earlier when I had watch the movie, the same point reflected in my mind. I tried to get the answer from the google. However, I am still somewhat confused. There is a long story on why Coriakin always appear barefoot. Again Coriakin was not like other people. One can say he was along the lines of an angel. This topic would have been easy to understand if and only if the author had attempt to explain in detail.

I don't think he forgets to put shoes on, but yes, it can be an eccentric trait.

Maybe Coriakin just never got any socks for Christmas, like Dumbledore.....:-)
