Barefoot Rick's blog

This morning i went to pick up my mom from the airport. And yes i was barefoot like I am everyday and the temperature was in the 28 degrees Fahrenheit. And the ground felt great on my bare feet and as i was walking through the airport to people where looking at me and my bare feet. The looks where like i was crazy or out of my mind. So as i was walking there was a city police officer and she was looking at me and she was looking at my bare feet and she was shaking her head. And so as i was waiting in the baggage claim i just happen to look at the bottoms of my bare feet they where jet black my bare feet where not that black but the floors are dirty from everybody coming and going from outside. I love when my bare feet are black ( the bottoms) and as i was waiting i did notice that the police officer started to come towards me and so i just stood there. And she started to ask questions why I'm barefoot and what i was doing their? So i told her that i was their to pick up my mom she came to visit me and she ask about my bare feet and i told her that i have a medical condition . I told her that i have gout in both feet and knee and hip. And that it is hard to wear shoes because my feet get swollen to where i can even wear socks. I also told here that i haven't worn shoes over 25years I'm a full time barefooter and my doctor has issued a statement that states why I'm barefoot .The officer didn't ask to see it she just said that i must have tough feet . I said will i can walk over broken glass and goat head thorns and nothing get stuck in my feet. She said that she love to be barefoot when she can and she wish she could work barefoot. So as we talk i notice that she just really wantef to know why I'm barefoot and that she also like being barefoot. So as i saw my mom i said it was nice talking to you and she ask me for my info and i ask if i was doing anything wrong she said no that she would like to call me and talk more about barefooting and my we can go somewhere that we can go barefoot and walk around. I said that would be great so my mom can up and ask if i was in trouble i said no she was wondering why i was barefoot and i told her and she wanted to know more about my barefoot history because she like to go places barefoot to. So i got my mom's bag and we went to where my truck is park and went to my house . Even as there was a little in the parking garage i walked through it and by the time we got to the truck i look at my bare feet ( the bottoms ) and they wherr still jet black . Everybody keep barefooting

Hi everybody last Tuesday it snow a lot here in Utah and the city where i live we got 13inches of snow. It was a little of a pain but with my snow blower is was easier than shoveling. And yes i was out there in the snow barefoot. So i did my driveway and side walks. And down the street where a elderly couple live the husband was just getting ready to shovel i walk down and told him i would snow blow his driveway and sidewalks for him. So after i did mine i did the sidewalk down to his house and did his driveway and walk way to his front door. I notice that him and his wife were watching me out of their front room widow. As i finished the husband came out and said thanks and ask if my bare feet were frozen and he also ask me why i don't wear shoes. He told me him and his wife see me barefoot all the time but they never thought to see me barefoot in that much snow. I told him that i never liked shoes or socks even as a kid i would go barefoot everywhere i could until my dad would say get some shoes on . And when i did wear shoes i couldn't wait to take them off and my socks too. He ask if i wanted to come in and worm up my bare feet i said no they're fine just a little pink .So i started back to my house and a city snow plow went by and i notice he came back around. He pulled up to me and ask if everything ok i said yes and said i never see anyone snow blow there driveway and sidewalks in bare feet. And i heared his radio go off and the dispatcher ask him if he needed the police and ambulance? He said no everything is good so we started talking about going barefoot and he ask me how long have i gone barefoot and i told him over 25 years and he said wow that's a long time i said yes but i have no foot problems or back problems and i saved a lot of money not buying shoes and socks. We talked for about 10 to 20 minutes and then he said he had to get back to work . He ask if he could stop by and talk more about how healthy it is to go barefoot. I'm surprised that he wants to know more about going barefooting. Most guy's that i know don't go barefoot only when they shower or go swimming or on a boat. But it would be nice to see what he says about him self going barefoot more. Everybody keep barefooting

Hi everybody today i went to a gun show and yes i was barefoot. I had blue jeans and a short sleeve shirt on. It was in the 40's and rain off and on. Not a lot of people notice my bare feet. It was nice to go from wet black top to inside with carpet and my bare feet liked the cool rain on they. But the carpet i could feel how dirty it was . I stop to see how black my bare feet where and they where really black like walking on the parking lot. As i started to walk and see the rest of the gun show a lady came up and said i had nice bare feet for a guy. I said thanks and as i looked down she was barefoot too and she had her flip/ flops in one hand i was surprised to see someone else barefoot too. After 3 hours at the gun show i decided to go and it wss raining hard and as i walk to my truck the rain cleaned some of the black off of my bare feet not all but some . Everybody keep barefooting

Hi everybody today was a nice day it snowed here where i live and i had to use my snow blower. And yes i was barefoot the hole time out here . It snowed about 8 inches and i had some of my neighbor's at if i was barefoot and i said yes and showed them my bare feet. They where just a little red just turn a little red . So after that i had to go to Wal-Mart to get some salt for the sidewalks. So the main streets where bad . The snow plows haven't plowed the streets yet. But i just put my truck in 4×4 and was just fine. I got to Wal-Mart and parked and i notice a truck there it was a guy that lives down the streets from me . So i walked in wal mart to where they keep the salt but on the way there people where looking at me like i was crazy for being barefoot. But the employees know me and they said hi barefoot Rick i said hi back and as i was loading the salt . I saw the guy that lives down the street from me . I really never talked to him and when i would be outside doing yard work he would drive by slow and just look at me working in the yard barefoot. But as i was loading the salt he came up to me and ask if my bare feet are cold and if they bottoms where black. I said hi and i said no they're not cold and they might be a little black. He said his name was troy and he always wanted to talk to be but he did know how to start talking to me . Troy always saw me barefoot in my yard and i couple of times in wal mart shopping. And when i would see him he was barefoot in his yard but in the store he would have flip/flops on. So i aske him if he was a barefooter too he said yes but not like me a full time barefooter. So we talked and he ask if he could talk more about going barefoot and how i got in to going barefoot and where else in go barefoot. So after i paid for they salt and i got home i was salting the sidewalks and the walk way up to my house. I saw troy walking up to my driveway he said hi i said come on up to the door and i notice he was wearing some slip on shoes . I told him to come in to my house and he said wow i can't believe you are still barefoot and you can walk on the salted sidewalks and driveway and the salt doesn't hurt. I told him no and it really doesn't. He ask if he could take off his shoe i said yes and he was barefoot. And i notice he wearing a toes ring and his toes had a dark red polish it looked good on his toes .So we talk about when he started to go barefoot and when i stared too go barefoot too. He couldn't believe i have been going barefoot for over 25years. Troy has been going barefoot for3 year when he isn't work he was to go barefoot in store, fast food restaurant and at the movies but nobody will do that with him his friends tell him guy's don't go barefoot everywhere only women and only women wear toe ring and paint there toes. I said not men go barefoot too and they also wear toe ring and some paint there toes. I told him i even go barefoot camping , fishing and riding my side by side and my four wheelers barefoot and i drive barefoot all the time. Troy ask if he could go with me barefoot when i go to the store's and other places barefoot i said yes it's easier to go barefoot with someone else that's goes barefoot to so i also told him it will take time to walk barefoot in the winter time your bare feet will get use to the cold but you have to do it a little at a time so today he went with me to Wal-Mart barefoot and told him to act normal and nobody will even notice and he did and he loved it he said the cold ground felt good on his bare feet. It nice to have someone else to walk barefoot with around where i live troy and i are always barefoot in my house or his housr or either my truck or his we went to a lot of places to day barefoot and the bottoms of our bare feet where jet black with a little white from the salt in the parking lot . Will everybody keep barefooting

Hi all today was a day that was strange. I went to Wal-Mart to pick up a few things it was not to cold but a lot of fog and sprinkles of rain. As i parked my truck and was walking through the automatic doors . And yes barefoot like always this guy was just looking at me. But i thought he was looking at my dirty bare feet the bottoms where black the way they should be for someone like ne that is barefoot 24/7 all year. As i shopped and got what i needed i notice he was following me . So i started to get ready to check out and i notice he was barefoot also now i was not to suspicious about him . I keept thinking that i know him but from where. So i also notice that his bare feet where black from walking barefoot. So as i check out and paid for my things i notice he was gone . So as i started to head where i parked and as i was putting my stuff away i could see from the shadow on the window someone where coming up on my right side . I looked down and i could see someone bare feet. As i quickly looked the same guy that was following me was right there by my side. I ask if i could help him and he ask me if my name was rick and he ask me if i remember him. I said i have seen you somewhere else. He said yes I'm a friend of your friend Mike i said oh hey he said that once we all went camping and i asked mike if you are all was barefoot and mike said yes rick is always barefoot all year around. I said sorry i can't remember your name he said troy now everybody calls him barefoot troy . He said that he was so excited to see that there's someone else that likes to be barefoot all the time. I said yes you and i where the only one's to camp and hike barefoot the hole time out camping . Troy said that i showed him that going barefoot everywhere even camp and hunting it fun and it's even more exciting if you have someone else to go barefoot with. I ask what is he doing now and if he lives by here. Troy said he just moved here 2 weeks ago and he has seen me at this Wal-Mart and troy said that besides him being barefoot at Wal-Mart at this time of the year. He knew if i shopped her i would be barefoot also . So i ask if he needed anything and he said that he always wanted to ask me if he could go with me sometime and do things barefoot with me. I said sure it's easier to go places barefoot but it's more fun with someone that loves doing things barefoot also. So we went to a place where i walk barefoot all the time . So we had fun walking around barefoot on this trail and seeing how other's would be when they saw us barefoot and the temperature is in the low 30s. It was fun and we even had some people stop and ask us why are we barefoot and if we needed help. We said we are barefooters we don't wear shoes or socks it our lifestyle and being barefoot is healthier than wearing shoes. We even had one guy ask if we where a couple? We said no just friends. The guy ask if we would think about going out with me troy said he would think about it and troy gotthe guy number. I said no not right now maybe next week the guy said ok and that hhe has seen me walk down here in my bare feet and he told me i have every nice toes for a guy and he would love to lick my bare feet clean. I said maybe we can meet next week? And troy said to the guy today I'm going to lick his bare feet clean . So as we started back to where i parked the truck before the trail i ask troy so why did you say you where going to lick my bare feet clean troy answered that he would love to lick my bare feet he wanted to ask the first time we saw each other and that I'm like him .he loves to be barefoot all the time and he wanted to ask me but he didn't want to be so forward. I said but you're asking now and if you want you can suck my toes and he did it felt great. Will everybody keep barefooting
