Return to DiscussionsWho's got 'em? I've been going barefoot full-time for about 12 years now, and the skin on my soles has gotten so tough that I can't even remember the last time I injured myself stepping on something. Gravel, splinters, and even pieces of glass don't slow me down! I feel like this is a natural layer of protection that most people deprive themselves of by wearing shoes so often. We just aren't designed to strap fake leather or rubber soles to our feet!
I totally agree. The last time I injured myself was not on the streets, but home, stepping on a shard of glass. And that happened years ago. On occasion, after rough hiking I may feel a little sore, but it's kind of a nice feeling that goes away in a couple hours.

My feet are pretty tough, but the best was when I was a kid and went barefoot ALL the time (more possible then) - I could walk across hot gravel in the summer! Am I the only one who remembers summers like that bare footed? Good times.
