Walk barefoot, toughen up your feet. I prefer having thumbs and hands to paws.

As others have said, you wear shoes, keeping your feet soft. There was a time in my life I walked everywhere, and did it barefoot. My feet became pretty well calloused and protected, to the point I could walk on gravel no problem. Even hot pavement wasn't too bad.

your dog's claws need a trim

It's just you. You're weak, and soft, because you've been trained by society to wear shoes.

There are many people who never wear shoes, and they have tough soles. From indigenous tribes, to modern Olympic athletes.

That said, even your dog can step in sharps and hurt their feet; cuts, thorns, stabs - shoes provide protection that paws and tough soles do not; this is the main reason we wear footwear.

If you're interested in a more back-to-nature approach without giving up extra protection, there are dozens of companies that sell minimalist footwear - in essence, modern moccasins. Vibram is one such, but there are many more. Fitkicks is a cheap version (~$20). Look for "active" and "water shoes."

Trees. We went into the trees before we came back down and walked on two feet.

Google gorilla feet.

if I had dog hindpaws for feet I'd get rich from onlyfans

Your feet develop this texture if you walk barefoot a lot.

Walk around barefoot and you'll get calluses similar to what you want. The more shoes you wear, the fewer calluses you'll get.

we use shoes, this keeps our feet from developing the callouses you see shoeless animals do.

this is a modern human thing, not a genetic human trait.

You have to walk... barefoot. My feet are messed up and I have some impressive callouses on the balls of my feet. They are a little better after surgery, but recovery sucked. Ultimately, your feet build up protection. Caking on mud probably helped. Animal skins, rudimentary sandals from various plants, and other natural resources could provide extra protection. Unfortunately, we have built an environment made for shoes and evolution is doing the rest. Walking on pavement is not great without shoes. Especially when it bakes. Walking on soil and grass feels a lot better.

I'd argue it's not always comfortable for them. Consider how hot black pavement can get on a summer day. I never make my dog walk across a parking lot when it's been baking under a 100 degree sun. I carry him to a shaded area, at least.

Developmentally, our hands and feet are modifications of the same underlying genetic template, so they’re going to have similar morphology.

Same reasons kittens have pink beans for toes. They get roughed up and don't stay pink and cute

Because we are primates, and none of our forest-dwelling ancestors had paws.

Humans developed footwear before we started walking long distances. We didn't evolve for it, we built tools that let us do things we couldn't do before.

I want beans too.

Your feet are not suited for long distance travel because you wear shoes, just walk around a bit without them, you'll grow callouses

If that is your foot you should seek a doctor

bruh

We do, we gain and then but lose them in the womb. They're called volar pads

The answer is evolution. Put shoes on dogs and in few hundred thousand years their paws will be like humans.
