For reference, temps at cradle mountain are still a few degrees below zero overnight.
Soooo, you know, it's nice to feel connected to nature by going barefoot, but shoes are probably a good idea.
I've walked barefooted up and down a Canadian mountain similar to Cradle with snow still fully on the path, so it is doable... But I wouldn't recommend it and even less so if you've not previously hiked barefooted.
Tasmania is also deceptive, it can look 20C one minute and be below zero the next.
Agreed that shoes probably make sense.
At least bring some just in case even if you plan to walk barefoot.
