Nintendo’s official materials show Yoshis hatching from eggs, but don’t explain whether the shoes are worn footwear, part of their bodies, or present at birth. The canon sources consulted leave that detail open.
What Nintendo’s games establish
The Nintendo Yoshi’s Island manual recounts six eggs hatching and newly hatched Yoshis. It does not say whether they hatch wearing shoes or explain where the shoes come from.
The Nintendo Yoshi’s Story manual describes Yoshis and their different colors, but its accessible text does not address the origin of their shoes either.
Why people call them shoes
Nintendo’s official US store uses the word “shoes” for the colored foot coverings on Yoshi plushes: its Green Yoshi 8-inch plush listing describes orange shoes, while the Blue Yoshi 8-inch plush listing describes purple shoes. That confirms Nintendo merchandise copy calls them shoes; it does not establish whether they are anatomical or worn in the games.

Do Yoshis hatch wearing shoes?
That remains unanswered by the official materials above. Saying Yoshis are born with shoes, or that the shoes are their feet, goes beyond what those sources state. The careful answer is simply that the games depict hatching but leave the shoes’ origin unspecified.
