Wilt actually sleeps with his shoes on most of the time. The only time I can actually recall him specifically removing them at bedtime was in the pilot episode, actually. We've discussed Wilt's apparent hang-ups about his feet before, and why he doesn't like to take his shoes off. We've only seen him bare-footed ONCE, in "The Trouble With Scribbles", and while Wilt's feet are mostly human in appearance(size notwithstanding), his toes are very long, they end in those same "suction cuppy thingies" like his fingers, and he's got "divergent" big toes, which mean that his big toe isn't in line with the other toes, but down lower on his foot and sorta sticking out to the side, a bit like an ape's! Maybe he's been teased about that, and is self-concious about it.
I DID find out where Wilt's lack of appreciation for tall jokes came from, though-apparently, Michael Jordan, on whom Wilt's creator is based, hates tall jokes, and that's one of the few things that can really tick him off. Like Wilt's creator, he was a runty little kid who got picked on for being short, then he went through that tall, gangly stage, and got teased in high school for being tall and thin, and it really got to him.
