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.

    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.

        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.
