** It depends on how tough your feet are. Walk around a lot on your bare feet and you'll develop a thicker skin on them that can take it. And keep in mind that River ''is'' combat conditioned; you don't get that way without doing a lot of work on your feet, which will build up toughness. Regardless, I think River honestly doesn't care if her feet are cold or hot; she seems to care less about physical discomfort and more about making constant tactile contact with the ship. |

*** This troper has preferred walking barefeet all his life. I've walked on forest ground, on rocky beaches, on tarmac, on gravel, on metal grates and once, on something of a self-dare, in a supermarket.

It's kind of like when you live next to a subway station - after a while, you don't even notice the trains rumbling by every 5 minutes. |
