When hobbits are born their feet are just like everyone elses. But the mother hobbit lovingly holds her child's feet to a belt sander every night. This eventually builds up tough callouses on the soles. (If the mother hobbit is good at it. It takes practice.)
As they grow, the children will do other things to get the perfect Halfling look; such as running on cinder tracks, stomping playfully on the feet of friends and siblings, and wading in lye.
Also Hobbits sleep suspended upside down in special "toe slings" so they can get the requisite length.
It sounds like alot, but it's all worth it. After all, who's going to marry a Hobbit with little, soft, naked feet?
Question:
How did dwarves mine mithril?
