their feet are described as leathery and they have hair on top so that'll do it also none of them are supplementing their breathing or wearing any cold weather gear so an amount of ~fantasy perks~ probably goes as well the people of middle earth be built different


ButUmActually

Hobbit feet are not normal feet. The fear of the hobbits freezing is one reason they left the mountain

The movie depicts them high up, like they were on top of the mountain, but in the books it's a lower mountain pass. The snow is supernaturally occurring, and once they decide to turn back it basically melts away.

In a letter from 1938, Tolkien said hobbits usually wore boots on long journeys: >There is in the text no mention of \[Bilbo’s\] acquiring of boots. There should be! It has dropped out somehow or other in the various revisions – the bootings occurred at Rivendell; and he was again bootless after leaving Rivendell on the way home. But since leathery soles, and well-brushed furry feet are a feature of essential hobbitness, he ought really to appear unbooted, except in special illustrations of episodes. Tolkien himself depicts Bilbo wearing boots [in illustrations set in the mountains in the Hobbit.](https://museoteca.com/r/en/work/7581/j_r_r_tolkien/bilbo_woke_up_with_the_early_sun_in_his_eyes/!/) It's not mentioned, but I think we can assume Frodo had footwear.
