It may if you start early in life and develop really really tough soles. For me now as an adult, I risk getting cut and having an infection that could result in an amputation in the worst case (all the worse because I’m a type 2 diabetic). Then, there’s the comfort factor, which goes back to the toughness of the soles. My feet are tender, so tender that if were to wander out onto a gravel driveway, I’d probably sit down and wait to be rescued by a helicopter. All kidding aside, even stopping on a tiny stone the size of a BB or smaller is very painful for me.
