Which is the part of our body that has the thickest skin?

I thought it was the one from our back, but my classmates say is the one that covers the sole. Please help
Answers:
While the actual thickness of skin varies throughout the body, the thinnest skin (approximately 0.5mm) is found on the eyelids, and the thickest skin (approximately 4mm) is on the palms of your hands and the soles of your feet.
yeah on the feet
i think it is the palm of your feet
Our eyelids have the thinnest skin, the soles of our feet the thickest.
The Feet.
Because the foot is touching the ground. Thin skin would wear out with all the friction.Thick skin is present on the soles of the feet and the palms of the hands. It has a larger stratum corneum with a higher keratin content. Thick skin does not grow hair; its purpose is to help grip.
the only two areas of the body that are proven to have thick skin are the palms of your hand and the soles of your feet
