Well obviously any human who was smart enough to travel any distance on foot would protect those feet from possibly damaging terrain, since those feet were his only means of transportation-duh!
You only have “sensitive feet” if you protect/sensitize the soles of them all the time by wearing shoes. As a ranch kid, I only wore shoes/boots when working outdoors in the barn and other horse/livestock areas-obvious reasons-or in the pasture where the stickers, cactus and mesquite thorns were. In the yard or anywhere else, it was bare feet-and still is. I wear boots-steel toes- at work and other public places-but at home I only wear them when doing outdoor work that involves nails, screws, heavy things that can fall on feet, etc. Otherwise it is bare feet, Winter and Summer-I do wear socks indoors if the floor is really, really cold in Winter-or outdoors if the ground has ice on it and I’m going to be out there for awhile. Maybe I carry the all natural thing a bit far-but I can walk on hot ground without difficulty-same for cold ground-and grassburrs do not penetrate my feet much at all. The soles of my feet do have very thick skin and feel like sandpaper, and I don’t get pedicures, either...
At any weight you have to be acclimated to being in bare feet-I weigh 103-105, but my best friend/employer is 6’2” and 205-goes in bare feet all the time like I do-but he has done it from an early age...
Ck with Old Joe…they’re probably his footprints. Do they wander around in circles? Definitely Joe.
Sounds like a Croc to me.
so if the print is like a shoe print in the sand, how did the print harden and not erode? anyway, I guess I can look it up.
LOL
Thanks!

Brian Williams worked his way through journalism school selling these very sandals to the ancient locals.
It wasn’t murder?
