footworn
Worn by walking
Footworn describes something that has been worn down or made smooth by the passage of many feet over time.
Stone steps in ancient buildings become footworn after centuries of use, their surfaces polished and grooved by countless travelers.
The word can also describe a person whose feet are tired or sore from walking: After the twenty-mile hike, we were footworn and ready for rest.
