      Feet will naturally build up thick, tough, resilient calluses in natural environments. There have been some interesting studies done on this topic with indigenous groups.

        Which indigenous groups don’t wear shoes? Genuinely curious. In North America, moccasins are pretty well-known. I understand that part of the need stems from climate though. I’m more curious about what terrain an indigenous group might live in that can be safe to live barefoot.
