thin soles
Feel every pebble
Thin soles are the bottoms of shoes or feet that lack substantial padding or thickness.
Shoes with thin soles offer less cushioning and protection from rough surfaces but provide better ground feel: I could feel every pebble through these thin soles.
The phrase sometimes describes worn-out footwear: His boots had thin soles after years of use.
