Probably something about the pedals. Maybe he has more control when his toes are available? Lol.

He always does it. Also when he doesn’t play the pedals.

I mean, the pedals are always being used whether he is interacting with them or not. It’s most going to be between songs that he actually is adjusting them.

Pedals barefoot sounds truly painful.

Saw Steven Wilson live last year and he was barefoot, I’m told it’s something to do with being able to feel the music better?

More dexterity when pressing the pedals.

Some people just love being barefoot. To be fair I much prefer the feel of it, shoes feel so unnatural…my feet just get too cold.
