actually i like this point the thought never really occured to me ok and then this bit

My theory is that these features developed during the time when they lived in harsher terrains. Therefore the members of the Fellowship would not need shoes as while they were not used to walking on rough or rocky land their feet still had these defences against it

Got ya' excellent points both things i didn't think about thank you
