T’sa usually go barefoot, given their tough hides and talonlike feet, but in cold weather or rough going they’ll wear a variety of shoes or slippers. Shaansi are one of the more unusual models. Shaansi resemble sandals like humans might make, but since t’sa walk on their toes, there's room for a wide, thin blade or paddle beneath the arch of the foot. When the t’sa takes to water (not an uncommon occurrence in the marshes of their home-world), the shaansi act like a diver's flippers, adding to the t'sa's swimming movement rate. However, they don't hinder the t’sa's mobility on land.
