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.
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
As others have said, you wear shoes, keeping your feet soft. There was a time in my life I walked everywhere, and did it barefoot. My feet became pretty well calloused and protected, to the point I could walk on gravel no problem. Even hot pavement wasn’t too bad.
What life were you living where you walked a lot barefoot?
If they’re anything like my tree hugging mom, then just for kicks I guess.
Kicks without kicks.
And don’t get me started on keratinized dicks
Yes, please don’t start.
Correct
Not OP, but I didn’t wear shoes as a young man living in a beach town, surfing, and just chillaxing.
I would love to see a picture of your paw feet 😂
I have since re-shod myself for many years, losing my rough pads. Unfortunately, I did not take any feet pics in that phase of my life.
your dog’s claws need a trim
Trees. We went into the trees before we came back down and walked on two feet.
Google gorilla feet.
That sounds like an invitation to be put on a list.
Well your first problem is using Google.
Gotta use Duck Duck Go + Tor + VPN on a burner phone you can yeet into the middle of international waters when you’re done. Make sure to sink the boat while you’re there, too. That way, under international law, nobody owns it.
Google gorilla feet in Minecraft
Your feet develop this texture if you walk barefoot a lot.

we use shoes, this keeps our feet from developing the callouses you see shoeless animals do.
this is a modern human thing, not a genetic human trait.
You have to walk… barefoot. My feet are messed up and I have some impressive callouses on the balls of my feet. They are a little better after surgery, but recovery sucked. Ultimately, your feet build up protection. Caking on mud probably helped. Animal skins, rudimentary sandals from various plants, and other natural resources could provide extra protection. Unfortunately, we have built an environment made for shoes and evolution is doing the rest. Walking on pavement is not great without shoes. Especially when it bakes. Walking on soil and grass feels a lot better.
Walking on some surfaces is downright pleasurable. Dewy morning grass or a dry hard packed dirt trail for instance
I’d argue it’s not always comfortable for them. Consider how hot black pavement can get on a summer day. I never make my dog walk across a parking lot when it’s been baking under a 100 degree sun. I carry him to a shaded area, at least.
Developmentally, our hands and feet are modifications of the same underlying genetic template, so they’re going to have similar morphology.
Because we are primates, and none of our forest-dwelling ancestors had paws.
Humans developed footwear before we started walking long distances. We didn’t evolve for it, we built tools that let us do things we couldn’t do before.
Your feet are not suited for long distance travel because you wear shoes, just walk around a bit without them, you’ll grow callouses
Same reasons kittens have pink beans for toes. They get roughed up and don’t stay pink and cute
We do, we gain and then but lose them in the womb. They’re called volar pads
If that is your foot you should seek a doctor
