There is a word for shoes :  *ker(&)p. 
Otherwise they must have been naked. 
Or else they wore past participles, from verbs for
     weaving:   *weg  *webh  *bher
    covering : *sk'ed  *(s)keu  *k'em  *(s)kep  *(s)teg
    etc
Or else they committed ablaut, and made nouns from those verbs (e.g. toga)
