The Hobbits don't wear shoes. If we slowly evolved, how come humans still require shoes?

Answer 1

because women pushed the issue.

c'mon!!

I need my high heels!!!

Answer 2

Because god did not forsee the need to protect man from the elements when he created them. He thought a naked human would be fine in the winter cold or the blistering heat of the summer sun. God isn't a very smart individual. Man has to figure out how to fix his mistakes all the time. That is why we have modern medicine, cars, computers, and clothing. But you can't fault god for this, he had never created anything before that, and had no guidance to help him figure out all that his creation would require in order to survive comfortably in the universe he created. How was he to know man needed shoes because the feet he gave them were too soft to walk across jagged rocks and dense forests? How was he to know that a lack of adequate body hair would cause man to have to create clothing to protect itself from the elements while all the other animals would be just fine? Cut the guy some slack, it's not his fault he's a little slow. His parents abandoned him when he was just a thought.

Answer 3

We don't 'still' require shoes. We evolved from creatures that didn't wear shoes and really the only reasons we need shoes are because we wear them (thus preventing the conditions necessary for our feet to become tougher) and because we have a whole lot of unnatural things to step on like broken bottles.

Answer 4

Hobbits are a fictional race and therefore not part of human
evolution,the whole Middle Earth world is pure fantasy,some
of the best fantasy but still fantasy. Try asking questions related
to real spiritual beliefs.

Answer 5

Because our brains evolved as well, and somewhere along the evolutionary line, our ancestors figured out that their feet would be warmer and the rocks on the ground not hurt as much, if they wrapped them in animal skins and fur.

Then we regressed somewhat with the invention of high heels, LOL

Answer 6

Shoes would become "hobbit-forming", no? Or it could be that the shoe store was out of stock of Bilbo's size.

Answer 7

We require shoes because we have been wearing them our entire lives and our feet are soft and tender.

The average person couldn't walk a mile even on relatively soft ground barefoot without their feet getting cut, blistered, and bruised.

Answer 8

What?! You're kidding, right?!Wait I get it, Hobbits don't need shoe's in a movie so people in real life shouldn't need them either. Naturally.

Answer 9

Well (a) we *don't* require shoes and (b) (I hate to tell you this) hobbits are imaginary.

Answer 10

If we didn't wear shoes our feet would become hardened

So we don't really need them , it's just become customary to wear them

Answer 11

We don't require them, but until women evolve to have natural 4" heels, I am very glad we have them.
