Difference between "bare" and "naked" with body parts. What about using bare and naked with body parts? How do I know if I have to say bare or naked + body parts (shoulders, feet, chest, back, legs, cheeks)? The hot paving stones scorched my naked feet. The hot paving stones scorched my bare feet.

I think of naked as describing your whole body, or at least a very large part. But individual parts may be bare. "Bare shoulders" or "bare feet" both sound correct, but "naked shoulders" and "naked feet" sound very wrong. So to answer your specific question, I'd always say "bare feet" and never "naked feet".
