Reading

はだし
  • Kyoko
    (Tokyo accent, female)
  • Kenichi
    (Tokyo accent, male)

Explanation

The reading here is a bit weird. It's like the words (はだか) and (あし) were smushed together into one word. The becomes はだ and the becomes . You can think of it this way: You were barefoot too long, and because of this, you don't have feet anymore, though you had ashi (はだし) at one point in the past.
