A gymnast likely would have hard feet because they are always putting them to the test, flexing,curling,flying in the air and landing on there feet and always in a point position, but no matter how ruff there feet are the talent in the those toes is so great who cares if the feet is a little ruff, I love the point and the high arch with the super crunches they do before they do a event I love those crunches.
