Why don't humans have paw feet?
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.
As others have said, you wear shoes, keeping your feet soft. There was a time in my life I walked everywhere, and did it barefoot. My feet became pretty well calloused and protected, to the point I could walk on gravel no problem. Even hot pavement wasn't too bad.
Walk barefoot, toughen up your feet. I prefer having thumbs and hands to paws.
I mean honestly this is the answer. I used to long board barefoot as a teenager and I also ran track. Often ran barefoot. By the time I was 16 I could walk on some glass without bleeding.
Thumbs are cool. I’m talking paw feet
Trees. We went into the trees before we came back down and walked on two feet.
I want beans too.
your dog's claws need a trim
Google gorilla feet.
Spray-on shoes!
That sounds like an invitation to be put on a list.
You have to walk... barefoot. My feet are messed up and I have some impressive callouses on the balls of my feet. They are a little better after surgery, but recovery sucked. Ultimately, your feet build up protection. Caking on mud probably helped. Animal skins, rudimentary sandals from various plants, and other natural resources could provide extra protection. Unfortunately, we have built an environment made for shoes and evolution is doing the rest. Walking on pavement is not great without shoes. Especially when it bakes. Walking on soil and grass feels a lot better.
Walking on some surfaces is downright pleasurable. Dewy morning grass or a dry hard packed dirt trail for instance
Developmentally, our hands and feet are modifications of the same underlying genetic template, so they’re going to have similar morphology.
I'd argue it's not always comfortable for them. Consider how hot black pavement can get on a summer day. I never make my dog walk across a parking lot when it's been baking under a 100 degree sun. I carry him to a shaded area, at least.
Your feet are not suited for long distance travel because you wear shoes, just walk around a bit without them, you'll grow callouses
The answer is evolution. Put shoes on dogs and in few hundred thousand years their paws will be like humans.
My feet smell like Fritos
