    Im going to say less on the injury like cuts and stuff, and more towards migrations to Ice areas. Where the feet got cold and they could travel much further with them wrapped up in fur, like animal..

    I'm sure it was to look simply smashing in the latest fashions

    Footwear probably became a semi-permanent feature after an ice age urged people to do this for long enough that our feet had time to soften, sensitizing them to the roughness of the ground that we were once used to.

    i figure somebody whos never worn shoes, never would need to because there feet would be less sensitive. I figure people started wearing shoes for warmth.. I mean, we did evolve through an ice age

    Shoes have allowed me to work places and walk places one would never go barefoot. However, there are times they are not necessary. Those should be enjoyed.

    Not everywhere... as historic sources described, ancient Greek soldiers fought barefoot - including their generals:

    so if they were wounded on their feet it may have been very painful because of the connection with the rest of the body that we know about from the reflexology!if the foot is wounded it may be difficult to defend oneself cause the ability to move and walk is affected..
