Why is one barefeet and another one wears shoes?

Sage loves his fancy clothes and going into the towns to buy herbs that he can't forage and pretty fabrics. He also sells feathers, mushrooms and spells ^^ Spellbark is more wild and never goes near settlements, although he is friendly to a few, like Sage :) Just preference for each ^^

(Also they're technically in difference universes, but I thought they'd look cool together!)
