Hobbit feet citations in blue
" . . . wear no shoes, because their feet grow natural leathery soles and thick warm brown hair like the stuff on their heads (which is curly); . . ." The Hobbit, An Unexpected Party
" . . . clad in a thick curling hair, much like the hair of their heads, which was commonly brown." Prologue, The Fellowship of
the Ring. Also from the Prologue:
The
Hobbits of the East-farthing [known to be Stoors in a large part of their blood]
"were rather large and heavy-legged" and wore Dwarf-boots in muddy weather.
The
Harfoots were:
" . . . the most normal representative variety of Hobbits, and far the most numerous" -- they were also "browner of skin, smaller, and shorter (. . .) beardless and bootless; their hands and feet were neat and nimble"
Keeping in mind that the
Stoors were generally larger anyway, and [another reference]
"broader, heavier in build" -- their "feet and hands were larger."
Makes sense: rather large, heavy-legged, broader, heavier in build -- that they also had [generally] larger feet
and hands than the Harfoots, for example.

And as noted, Proudfoot had large, exceptionally furry feet.
And not that anyone said otherwise, but of course, that not only doesn't mean that all Hobbits had notably large feet, but if the same sentence were written about a Man . . . well some
Men have "large" feet too, but . . .
. . . something
