IIRC, it was different between the three 'subethnicities' --- the
Stoors, the Tooks, and I forget. But most hobbits certainly had very
hairy feet.

I don't think it's not made perfectly clear in the book, but I always
assumed that these three groups had some admixture of elven, human and
dwarven blood, respectively.
