Thanks to
furloph's suggestion to swap the brown and tan, I'm stuck between the two now and can't pick which one I want to be the new theme for my Tau army! Could you guys help me out?

They have hooves... They cover the tops of the hooves where the flesh meets the nail (or whatever it is), but other than that yeah barefoot.

It varies from source to source, but this model from the codex seems to have an exposed hoove http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/mediawik.....re_Warrior.jpg as well as this one fron the DoW game http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/mediawik.....re_Warrior.jpg ...Granted their the Tau, but I just don't see how a "boot" for hooves would work... but thats just me.
A hard protective covering probably works better on hooves than soft, flexible feet. And the hooves on the model you're showing are not only the same standard model, but are obscured by basing, so, they don't really say much. The problem with all of your refs though is that none of them suggest that what you're seeing is anything more than a protector over top of the hoof beneath.
Again, I maintain until proof is given that the Tau, as the most tech-happy race in the galaxy, have some sort of protective covering. Otherwise, how the hell do they fight in vacuum or on death worlds or other environments necessitating full containment?
