I've been looking at options to enable khajiits and argonians to wear helmets or, at the very least, boots. While I know of the various mods that add "leggings" to the game (like Adul's or "Boots for Beasts") I'd prefer to allow them ot wear existing items, rather than add new ones just for them. I learned that there's an option for "Upright Beasts" when using Slof's Better Beast Bodies. Would that enable them to wear the vanilla footwear?

I COULD be wrong, but one of the boxes that can be checked in the races in the creation kit is labeled "beast race", and is (of course) only clicked for the two beast races. It is possible that all you have to do is uncheck them and it enables them to where whatever they want, though it may look weird.
