if you are warm enough to be without socks, sweater, warm clothing, then maybe your baby doesn’t need either. BUT, if you feel chilly, so does your baby.
I don’t want to be barefoot in my house. it’s cold. and I want another layer over my shirt, so my baby also needs layers. He is cold, and on the floor, he is for sure cold

Socks with soft leather shoes

He doesn’t need shoes if he is still crawling. Before my babies walk, they wear socks. And yes, undershirts or onesies also. I have one kid who got heat rashes in the summer, so no undershirt/onesie then, but definitely in the winter.

At home if your floor is not very cold baby is best with bare feet. Out of house socks are just fine. Preferably with grip on bottom. Assuming for long time out like in carriage babys feet will be under a bunting or blanket. Booties are not necessary unless baby will be navigating surfaces that are not smooth ie. Playground or cement. In which case booties are necessary. Keep in mind the goal is to protect the feet the booties will get ruined quickly.
If home floor is cold socks or tights (baby that won't keep socks on) are necessary. Very cold home or floor warrants tights (under pants) and socks
Undershirts should always be worn for baby's and children. Gives finished look. Keeps back belly covered. Keeps body dry and cleaner.

This is what I get for my kids too. And they don’t get shoes until they are solid walkers. Even in the summer, I prefer my babies outside with just socks, even in the park or the backyard. It’s good for them to learn how to walk on uneven surfaces, it helps them to gain balance.

I keep undershirts on until they are toilet trained, even in the summer. The saggy diaper look really bothers me for some reason.
Aside from that, crawling babies shirts ride up. It's more comfortable for them not to be exposed all the time.

My kids never had bleeding toes, and of course I would put shoes on them if they were getting hurt.

Just socks is perfectly fine. That's what everybody around me does, never heard of using shoes before they're walking. I can't imagine it's good for their feet either.
