I seem to have been reading a lot of books about Hell lately myself. (of no import, just contextualizing your post into my own life)

I used to walk around all the time in college with no shoes...until winter at least. My feet were very tough. Now, they are weak and lazy. I do a lot of walking around without shoes, as is the custom indoors, but not so much on gravel and tree roots and such! youch!
