Seri Tribe - Historical Barefooting
The Seri tribe developed really strong skin on their feet while walking around in the desert. Their soles were tough enough for their children to play in cactus patches, and for them to walk on sharp stones (such as beds of shale) that even animals avoid.

Wasn't just them either. The Zulu had a man we could call The Barefoot Napoleon https://youtube.com/shorts/1aKHeGXh0lo?si=f2j9M3SK3WVhcfDE

These are some sherpa and seri-Indian feet. There was a poster from the 1880s showing the 👣Indians ready for a long run over cactus, sharp rocks, and long thorns without worries. Soles at bottom are from ship deconstruction workers (India) who walk on sharp steel from cutting torches all day.
