I'd imagine it would be what allows us to have such fine sensations on our fingers and toes which is how we primarily interact with the world. Our fingers are incredibly more sensitive than most other animals. We can't hear or see or taste as effectively as some but we can feel really good with our fingers.
Our feet being so sensitive allows us to map out the ground without looking at it, and in turn allows our muscles to react to the stimulation. Walking barefoot on varied terrain gives out a lot more info and effect than walking in shoes on a flat surface.
i thought that was just because our ancestors liked tickling each other
