There are some cool boots in the game with neat enchantments, so yes, there is a drawback. It isn't a huge drawback though. Boots and a helmet each contribute 10% to your overall armor rating, so you will lose 20% protection. You could go unarmored though, or high agility to avoid being hit.

As for abilities (skills?) not worth taking. Athletics and acrobatics are used a lot (if you run and jump everywhere), so they go up fairly quickly as misc skills. I wouldn't take more than one weapon skill, because you won't be carrying many weapons, much less two different kinds (at least at first, later when your strength is higher you can do this, but then you can also afford to train the other weapon skill).
