Let's see what people do where it's warm enough to go shoeless if you want, and leather shoes of any sort are too expensive for most: African tyre shoes:  Still better than nothing at all:  I know that we've all been immunised to the eyeballs against tetanus, that Madura foot is only an issue in tropical and subtropical regions, and that hookworm has been nearly eradicated in the USA (you're fairly safe from it in Canada), but personally, I'm still in favour of shoes. Also, remember how blisters pain you after a long hike, and what a mad relief it is to pop them with a needle? The pain is nothing compared to what you get if you develop blisters under the non-expanding armour of a keratinised callus, as I learned after I'd barefooted it over the gravel paths of my parents' garden for a whole summer, confident that blisters would never bother me again. Over-enthusiastic army recruits who marinate their soles in surgical spirit – another way to harden them up – have learned the same thing, generation after generation.
