What piece of Armor do you like the least?

Visually speaking, the feet are my least favorite.

I’m really excited for the upcoming Transmog, I have had issues since day one with the way the feet armor look. A lot of attention is given to the shin areas but the actual foot itself always looks so plain. A lot of the styles are also weirdly pointed or make the feet look really thick.

    It depends on the race but in general, all helms look like trash. Of the pieces, helmets are head and shoulders above the rest in ugliness.

    I'm sad I can't go barefoot with the new outfitter, there's a few Leather and Cloth pieces that shows the open toes portion. Bosmer Leather and Barbaric Cloth do these quite well, I would like my Female Orc in Plate to go like that, but doesn't show up very well. If there's any sandal appearances I may go with those instead.

    I am continuously ticked off by:

    - Any foot armour that shows the toes. Not only does this hardly conform to the medieval fantasy combat esthetic, but it is also incredibly impractical given that half the bloody areas in the game are either snow, jungle or volcanic rock, all settings where going practically barefoot isn't exactly advisable.

    - Any chest armour - Bahara's, for example - that looks like it is two sizes too big for the character wearing it and just sort of "hangs" there. This is more of a subjective view, of course, but the baggy look just does not work for medieval fantasy outside of "Ali Baba" type costumes, which this type of armour is definitely not.

    - The way some belts seem to be glued on when you start matching different sets together. Particularly dungeon sets, because with craftables you can at least control the appearance ahead of time, whereas some of the dungeon set default looks are clearly not meant to go with one another, especially in areas like belts.

    So yes, there will be a lot of transmogrification in my future. [Plus I've already memorized several Mazzatun pages, might as well put them to use.]

    Never been a fan of exposed toes, as they only really look good on Bosmer and sorcerer/wild witch type characters. Though they wouldn’t be nearly as irritating if ZOS had actually spent more than five seconds on them. The toes look like they were painted onto the models by a five year old.

    Were they high when they did this? At least Skyrim had the excuse of having almost no footwear where toes are exposed.

    Somehow whoever designed all these armor types must have been a trucker before this.

    Really right on the mark here, the exposed toe look just does not look good.

    yeah for them it makes sense. Most of my characters aren't them, but if they were, it may look better.
