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.

What life were you living where you walked a lot barefoot?

Not OP, but I didn’t wear shoes as a young man living in a beach town, surfing, and just chillaxing.

If they’re anything like my tree hugging mom, then just for kicks I guess.
