What's softer? The palms of your hands, or the soles of your feet?

I walked out on my (relatively smooth, pebbled concrete) patio this morning, and it occurred to me that I’d be more comfortable, physical sensation wise, walking on my hands.

Not for me it wouldn’t; years of walking barefoot as often as possible have made my feet tough and calloused.
You ^think* your hand are tough, because you can hold a sharp pebble or a Lego piece in your hand. But consider how different it would feel if you were doing a handstand on it with your full weight.
All my adult life I’ve had plantar warts, so out of consideration for others, I don’t even walk on carpet barefoot in my own home.
But I’m also not in the habit of carrying around 150 pounds in my hands, @zenvelo. Point well taken.
I take five dance classes a week. My feet have serious callouses – I need them to spin/turn/arabesque/chassee/pas de bourree properly. I’ve yelled at the pedicure lady when she wanted to sand the callouses off…...nooooo! I need those.
Whoa.
5 ballet classes a week? @BellaB?
Your profession?
I’m an office lady :) in real life
I didn’t even know that there were enough Turkish Roma dancers in America to collect!
I’m in Canada ... but there are quite a few wonderful Turkish Roma dancers in the U.S as well . Some fantastic dance companies. Apparently the next big conference will be in Minneapolis of all places.
My palms are softer. My feet are tougher. I can’t walk on my hands in normal circumstances.
My palms. I don’t wear shoes unless I have to, even at the lake.
I’m an elephant. Nothing’s soft on me.
Just felt my hands & my feet, aren’t you the powerful one & my hands win in the soft stakes.
My face also beats my arse cheeks, probably the reason why everyone says I look younger than I am
