Not exactly Doc Martens, but better that stepping on a prickly Sea Urchin with your full body weight.

Air Jordans were cheaper in those days.

The fact that feet are so sensitive makes me think our earliest ancestors were mowing lawns.

You're good for something after all.
Thanks for this. Interesting that that seems to be modern man as far back as we go.

I think our feet are as sensitive as we allow them to become.
I grew up in southern california. In summertime my brothers and I rarely wore shoes, and a little more frequently wore flip flops, but usually our feet were bare.
One brother and I use to run - just for running - on our neighborhood streets, barefoot, on asphault (the only sneekers I owned were saved for PE class at school or for Little League.
Our feet were so black my mom made us wear socks to bed.
It was a very long time into adulthood before walking on any surface registered a complaint from my feet.
I think our feet are only as much in need of shoes as we have trained them to be.

I had to look that up: Asp Gaiters: the H2O proof covering worn over the shin to keep legs dry while sloshing in cold, dirty water. Didn’t know that was what they are called.
My first thought was WAY off: Asp, the snake who (allegedly) bit and kilt Cleopatra.
Gator: Florida Gator’s Football team.

I think these were the flip flops they were wearing...

In the second picture at the link, the one on the far left is clearly a paw print, and the ones leading up to it appear to be where the paws slipped in the mud.

The journal name Ichnos is the Greek word meaning "track" or "footstep."

It helps to be as light as a child. Much easier to walk on rough surfaces when you weigh 60 lbs.

Those tracks look just like the ones I leave with my Bob Marley flip flops.
