(at around 46 mins) Terminator explains to young John Connor that the T-1000 can mimic anything it touches. When it mimics the guard in the institution, the only thing it actually touches are the soles of the guard's shoes, as it was hiding as a section of the floor. But touching any part of the object allows the T-1000 to scan the whole object and mimic it. The shoes are not separate objects, but are the bottom part of the guard object. The T-1000 sees the guard as one object (like a toy action figure with its clothes and shoes textured and colored onto it). The T-1000 doesn't have to touch the guard's flesh to be touching the guard. It's not actually mimicking shoes, socks, shirt, pants, underwear, feet with all 5 toes, skin under the clothes, and so on, all separately. It's creating just an action figure with clothing and shoes textured and colored as part of the guard object; just the outward appearance of the guard. But this still doesn't explain how the eyes, hair, keys, uniform, & body shape are mimicked, unless the process relies on optical scanning of the subject, which makes tactile sampling unnecessary and a plot hole.
