Exactly how common do we think it was for soldiers to not have shoes? I assume this was more of a problem for the south?
 
Both sides would have worn out shoes on a campaign which lasted very long. For example during Lee's withdrawal from Gettysburg and Meade's pursuit both the Confederate Army and Union Army had barefoot soldiers.
