Barefoot Rick's blog

Hi everybody,
Will today it’s raining and it’s a little cold but it feels great on my bare feet. I always get people looking at me and asking if I need help but I tell them no I do not need help . They ask me where are your shoes I tell them I don’t wear shoes or socks. They tell me I’m crazy I just say it’s my lifestyle and I love it. And I save a lot of money not buying shoes or socks and some laugh and some just ask more questions which I like to answer. But it’s a little hard this time of year to get people to walk around barefoot outside. I love to feel the fallen leaves crunch under my bare feet . I been fishing and I have had people ask me if my feet get cold and I tell them no I really don’t feel the cold I’m use to it . Last week it snowed up in the mountains and I was fishing up there I had some people make a big deal that I was barefoot and they called the fish and game on my . The officer that came out knew who I was and told the people that I never wear shoes and that I’m ok and I have been barefoot for over 28 years . The officer said we call him barefoot Rick . The people said wow he is crazy not to wear shoes in the snow he said that’s just barefoot rick he smiled. I caught my limit and left . Will everybody keep going barefoot

It’s been raining and a little cold but it great to go barefoot in . I love feeling the falling leaves under my bare feet. I can’t wait until it snows I love walking in the snow barefoot I do get looks and I have had people call the police because I’m walking barefoot. But I really love walking on the fallen leaves the sound and the feel of the crunch under my bare feet. Will everybody keep going barefoot

Hi everybody,
Today was a great day to go barefoot I had to go to a auto part store and the employees that work there did not say a word and some customers looked at my bare feet and one of them was a guy that said that he wish he could go barefoot in stores. I told him it’s a little easier if someone goes barefoot with you next thing I know he took off is flip/flops and as I was looking for a couple of things he was walking with me and talking about going barefoot in restaurant and other places. It was nice to have someone to walk barefoot with. After I got what I needed I told him that it was great to talk to someone that likes to go barefoot in stores . So I told him it was nice to meet him. I really don’t see a lot of guys walking around barefoot. I see some lady’s walking barefoot but it’s the same with kids. When two years ago I saw a lot of people walking around barefoot. I ask the guy what is his name and he said mike and I told him mine people call me barefoot Rick. And I told him I have to run to Walmart and the gas station. He said it was great to meet you and talk about going barefoot I said yes it was and I gave him my email address and he said he would email later to night . I said looking forward to it. I wish I had more friends that would go barefoot with me. some of the girls I know tell me ask me if I found a girlfriend and I tell them no a lot of girls don’t like when I guy goes barefoot more then they do. And the girls I know they have friends that would go on a date with me but I have to wear shoes and i wish I could find someone that would except me for me and that I’m a barefooter but I don’t think I will ever find someone. But I just have to see if I can find more barefoot friends. But at Walmart nobody said anything to me and my bare feet and even at the gas station I had a guy just looking at my bare feet and he said wow I bet it feels great to go barefoot and drive barefoot I said yes it does and the guy said keep barefooting I said I will. It’s nice to have some people say great things about going barefoot. Everybody keep barefooting

Hi everybody,
I had go to Walmart today and it has been raining here in Utah hard. As I was walking in to Walmart the greeter and he said that smart that you are barefoot I said thanks he told me they had some people slip and fall because of flip/flops. I said wow and he said that he has seen me a few times barefoot when he was working. He told me that he told the people that to be careful they might slip but they just looked at him and smiled he told them I would take off the flip/flops and walk barefoot in Walmart. They said it’s ok we won’t fall and then they did. I even had people look at my bare feet and said maybe we should take off our flip/flops off so we don’t fall I told the two ladies that’s a good idea and I said they already had some people slip and fall so the two ladies took them off and the greeter that I was talking to said that’s a good idea . The two ladies asked him if later will they would be told to put on shoes he said no this guy comes in barefoot all the time and they said that they have seen me like twice shop at Walmart barefoot. And he said that when it rains it gets slick and some people fall hard . And the two ladies said that they thought it was against Walmart policy or health department and the greeter said no theirs no policy that nobody can go barefoot in Walmart. So I told the greeter I have to get going and he said ok barefoot rick talk to you later I said ok and the two ladies asked if they could walk with me I said ok cool and they said that it would be easier to walk around Walmart be with another barefoot person . And one of them said so do I know the people that work for Walmart I said yes and they both said I like your nickname barefoot Rick I said thank I have had that nickname for over 30 years because I go barefoot all year around they ask even in the winter I said yes . I even remove snow with my snowblower and in bare feet I told them I cut my lawn and string trim in bare feet and I go camping, fishing, , hiking and hunting barefoot. They were amazed they ask me if I was married or had a girlfriend I told them no most ladies don’t like a guy that goes barefoot more then they do I have had a few ladies tell me that . They said that should not matter but it does. So I got what I needed and I told the ladies it was nice talking and walking with them come to find out they were mother and daughter I was surprised. And as I was leaving the greeter said it’s raining again I said thanks for the heads up and we said goodbye to each other . It was a good rainy day to be barefoot . Will everybody keep going barefoot

Hi everybody,
It’s been hot here in Utah and now it’s raining and at least we are getting some water. That we need and I haven’t seen too many people walking around barefoot. But I have seen more bare feet in car’s and trucks and RV’s . I see the passenger side and I see bare feet on the windshield you know how some of them put their bare feet on the dashboard or the windshield . I had a guy ask me yesterday at the gas station if I go barefoot all the time . Because I have no tan lines and I said I never wear shoes or socks or boots. He asked me how long have I been going barefoot and I told him about 30 years. And then he asked me if I go barefoot in the winter and I said yes I do I’m barefoot all year around and I remove the snow with my snowblower and I love the cold around my bare feet. . And he asked me if a walk barefoot when it’s 100 degrees I said yes I do but it burns the bottom of my bare feet a little. And the guy said he wish he could but he only walks around barefoot in his house but puts on flip/ flops when he goes outside. Then he asked what he can do too toughen up his feet. I said start walking outside in your yard barefoot and listen to your bare feet. And when your feet feel a little bit sore stop and try to go a little farther when you’re ready it will not happen right away it takes time . But if you stick with it soon you will notice that you are walking farther barefoot and then you will start going barefoot in stores and fast food places and in some movie theaters. And when you start going barefoot more and more you will notice that you’re saving money not buying shoes and sock and if you’re feet are up to hiking barefoot. I told him I go barefoot fishing, camping and hunting barefoot and hiking and traveling. And the guy notice that he see more bare feet in vehicles then walking around barefoot and I said yes I notice it too but I hope to see more bare feet and I hope people know that shoes are why people always says my feet hurt but if they go barefoot their feet will not hurt and if employers would let their employees go barefoot they would notice that the work will get done a little quicker and the employees would not be stressed as much . The guy said he had to go I notice he removed his flip/ flops and walk to his car and he said thanks for talking to him and he will go barefoot more . I said anytime so we went are different ways. Will everybody keep going barefooting
