Answer 3

Running Shoes are used to protect your feet from bruises, the weather and cuts.

Answer 4

Right. Why don't animals have running shoes? What protects them from bruises, the weather and cuts?

Answer 5

I don't know why animals don't have running shoes or any other types of shoes?

Answer 6

Don't they have tough feet? Don't they have leather-type material on the bottoms of their feet? Nature adapted them to their environment.
