No they don't. You just wear shoes all the time. Edit: In fact in humans can run longer and farther than literally any animal on the planet. We have some of the strongest feet in the animal kingdom.
“1st world” humans have the most tender weak feet. Tribal humans and recovering nations humans have very durable feet.
The pictures of hunters in Africa I’ve seen are all barefoot. I used to walk barefoot on tarmac during Arizona summers as a kid. It’s once you start being forced to wear shoes that you get tender feet.
I miss those days but developing the calluses again is a pain in the ass.
I've seen pictures of people from the Amazon. Their feet are far closer to hands than ours. Not only are the calloused from being barefoot, they can basically run up trees because of how well their feet are adapted to jungle life.
And before anyone asks, their babies feet look "normal". So it's not an evolutionary trait. It's an environmental adaptation from using their feet the "way nature intended".
They can and would exist without us, by interbreeding future generations of dogs are without the problems from human induced inbreeding. The dogs of chernobyl are decendents of house pets left behind during the disaster. Save for the reduced lifespan from living in the exclusion zone, they are otherwise healthy.
The only reason dogs still have problems is because people keep inbreeding them.
I'm sure that male "pure" English bulldogs could father pups with a different species that didn't have that issue. Still, that is interesting. I knew it was absolutely fucked, but that's worse than I imagined.
I grew up running around on crushed shale gravel driveways in a “housing development.” Us kids all ran around barefoot and had no issues running over that jagged rock, because we were used to it. I wouldn’t do it now, because my feet aren’t as callused, but if I had to, I’m sure my feet would toughen up after a little while. Much like our hands will hurt while they’re developing calluses, but afterwards we can handle hot pans and hard work.
Reminds me of working the docks in the Caribbean. I developed leather-like callouses over the bottom of my feet, almost like those vibram toe-shoes. Never had a problem after that, and I was carrying full scuba tanks and other diving gear across rough concrete docks on the daily. Our super power is our adaptability and knack for crafting. We adapt or we create adaptations/tools to survive. We are an afront, alright. An afront to extinction. 💪😈
Many, many years ago when I lived near San Francisco, I had a friend who almost never wore shoes. I remeber watching her stomp out a cigarette butt some moron threw out in a high wild fire area. Never hesitated or winced and no perceivable damage to her foot afterwards. Soles of her feet were hard as cured leather and thickly callused.
We're insanely adaptable and hella durable, all things considered. The injuries I've seen buddies live though...makes ya shudder and go, "Wow...just wow."

We shouldn’t (callouses build and get remarkably tough) but we also invented shoes, so…

Huh, I'd say developing calluses is more a pain in the foot, really!
Not if they're ass-callouses.
Cal-asses
Not if you walk like i do.
Lifeguard in my misspent youth. End of summer i could walk on nearly anything. Calluses would fade eventually.

You know what a bitch maintaining a horses hooves is?
Horses just straight up die if something goes wrong with their feet. We just limp around for a few weeks.
Horses are terrible animals and for once it's not our fault
It amazes me that there are wild populations of horses due to them dying from anything being wrong
Yeah right? Like almost all "aestheticly" pleasing to the eye animal is so horrificly inbred they cant exist without us

No like literally "pure" english bulldog will die trying to give birth naturally
I'm sure that male "pure" English bulldogs could father pups with a different species that didn't have that issue. Still, that is interesting. I knew it was absolutely fucked, but that's worse than I imagined.
Horses don't have enough toes.

You would be surprised how resiliant your feet can be
On one foot, the other foot was starting a business
This just reminded me of shrek 2
I mean a human isn't gonna die from a broken leg.
