Sometimes. The Confederate Army was often short of supplies, including shoes, and and it was a need for new shoes which drew them to Gettysburg where a shoe factory was located nearby. If their soldiers had no shoes they went without them until shoes could be acquired, sometimes by capturing them from the North. In contrast, the Union Army had a surplus of supplies, including shoes that were uncomfortable, and weather permitting their soldiers sometimes chose to go without them.
