trouble keeping soles tough

.

 

yeah man isn't there a way to toughen them up quick?

 

My feet aren't all leathery and gross looking, but they're still tough. Walking on gravel and pavement does help. How long have you been going barefoot? I think it takes a few months for them to get really conditioned to all surfaces. Good luck, though.

I am the same. I'm barefoot all the time, but conditions keep my feet relatively soft -- definitely not calloused and hard. But at the same time, going barefoot on all kinds of surfaces has made me used to them and so my feet are "tough" in the sense that I can take them anywhere without pain or discomfort. (Granted, some hot Florida pavement would be too much.)

I wouldn't sweat it. I just let them be what they're gonna be. Actually, I'd rather they were reasonably pleasant to the touch as opposed to all hard and rough.
