As I spend days barefoot at home, I've happily noticed "raised areas" on my soles (callouses) that protect me when I barefoot outdoors! I fucking love my "barefooter" feet!!
I know what you mean I have really thick callousness on my bare feet and I love it I can walk on any surface and really hot pavement and I can walk on broken glass and on fishing hooks and lit cigarette and I don’t feel anything that I step on I love my barefoot lifestyle.
