The skin in the sole of their feet is very thick and the instep is covered with (uaually brown and rather curly), thick fur. That's why they don't need shoes.

How are hobbits not like ordinary people?

Hobbits are similar to Dwarves, except without the beards and axes. The hobbits live in the hilly Shire. Dwarves live in mines. Tolkien described the hobbits as "children" as they are only three feet tall. They also have hairy feet. Tolkien wanted to give the idea of hobbits being a lot like children. They love to eat, have fun, have parties and gossip. Tolkien also wanted to add some sort of innocent, good natured race as well as the dwarves and elves, who prefer to keep themselves to themselves. Hobbits fitted this criteria perfectly. Despite their lack in stature, they had very big feet.


Do hobbits have hairy hands too?

Hobbits feet in the movies, are portrayed as having a small, although thick layer of hair along the sole of the foot, also a small patch on top of the foot. It is well known that Hobbits are creatures of countryside in middle earth, this would mean that Hobbits would spend plenty of time outdoors, doing activities such as hiking and fishing. This is why their feet have rough soles and small patches of hair, it is an adaption to their surroundings. There are many reasons noted to why their feet are hairy. A few people think that its for adaptation reasons, others believe it is to make them seem more 'cute' and such, comparing them to Teddy Bears. Although I believe, along with many others, that this was simply just to give them character, make them different from Dwarf's, which are very similar to Hobbits in appearance, yet not in Origin
