Like the episode of Star Trek TNG where they could fly out of this ship from being pushed through the wall, but not through the ship downwards as they were standing on it.
i understand kitty pyrde might have some unsconscious control that your bottom of your feet doesnt phase, or is there some kind of "physics" level understanding, probably technobabble, or its only possible to phase in a foward momentuml.
but for tech that uses it like merlins phase shifting, or crystal skull, or any other phase tech, the tech probably has a failsafe in it to not phase the bottom of you feet. somehow even the phased portions is still reacting to the regular matter somehow. still exerting a "normal" force in a phased state. only one instance DCU animated series the phase actually phased through the floor and dying.
oh yea it was the pegasus episode, where riker found the phase shifting device, which is partially a cloaking tech, since many other cloaks are interdimensional shifters adjacent(like the sodan cloaking in sg1)
