That said, I've always wondered just how they got along barefoot in the snow while climbing to the Redhorn Gate.
Thatīs an interesting Topic. Well I guess they never had cold feet. Maybe like ducks which have a Counter-currant heat Exchange systhem (ha, I always wanted to Quote that!) and so get very well along...

Also anatomical: Maybe there is a reason that they donīt wear boots. Sweaty feet? In that case it would have been catastrophal the Moment Bilbo took his off!
