Humans are bi-pedal animals who walk extensively over long distances. However our feet are soft and not well suited to the task. However dogs, monkeys, and other animals have paws that serve as shoes to protect the feet.
No other mammal has such unprotected - but we are known for walking the farthest distances / nomadic behavior. Is this a joke?
I want paw feet instead of shoes.
Walk barefoot, toughen up your feet. I prefer having thumbs and hands to paws.
I mean honestly this is the answer. I used to long board barefoot as a teenager and I also ran track. Often ran barefoot. By the time I was 16 I could walk on some glass without bleeding.
TBF, walking on glass is a fairly common sideshow trick
True dat
Yeah shoes were optional for a solid chunk of change of my lifetime and I used to have some real rough feet and damn do I miss them =P! How do you do nowadays? I am still pretty minimalist. I like the heel of my shoes to be as thin as I can take them. But hiking, when I use those minimalist shoes I keep torturing myself my poking a fat rock right into a nerve that sends pain rushing up my being =P! I don't think I'll ever have it like I used to.
Lol yeah I'm pretty much the same. I try to keep slim shoes for everyday wear but I need boots for any rocky hiking. The only rough part left on my foot is my heel.
Hahaha! Mine too! I could put a tack in that back part =P! But the rest is like a little soft girl =P!
What you want are zero drop shoes with a rigid sole, possibly even a shank. The zero drop is the flat heel that you like, but the rigid sole will protect against rough terrain.
Yup! I didn’t wear shoes much when I lived at the beach and I got to the point where I could walk on hot asphalt or through broken glass without even noticing.
Thumbs are cool. I’m talking paw feet
