I tried editing your sprites a little to fix the issues,
1- Gave him shoes - that somehow breaks the 'no pants' perception, and makes him not look barefoot anymore.
2- reworked side sprites. Note that due to the sprite size, you don't need to have different poses for legs (see Earthbound for references).
3- I also reworked the diagonal down sprite.
