Barefoot Rick's blog

Hi everybody,
Today has been a great day to go barefoot it’s not to cold and the ground feels great on my bare feet. So I went for a walk and ran into one of my neighbors she always walks her dog every morning. And I was walking she notice that I was barefoot and she said wow I can’t believe you are walking around barefoot in this cold weather. I said will it’s not really cold on my feet. And she said I notice that you always walk barefoot I said yes I do . She ask me why and I told her and she was amazed and I notice she was wearing sandals and I ask her if her feet were cold she said no but she wishes that she could walk barefoot at the time . I told her that I’m been going barefoot for a every long time and I love my barefoot lifestyle I would never give it up for anything. So she asked me if I was married or seeing someone and I said no it’s hard to find someone that is ok with a guy that goes barefoot everywhere and in all types of weather . She was like wow I thought you were married or at least seeing someone I said no . Being barefoot for over 32 years and some women don’t like a guy that goes barefoot more then they do . She said that she like a guy that goes barefoot and she wishes that her boyfriend would go barefoot with her . I told her that it’s nice to walk with someone and talk about thing like going barefoot. She said that she has seen me before walking barefoot in the spring and summer and this fall . I ask her if she would ever walk barefoot in the winter time she said if she could toughen up her feet she would she doesn’t like wearing shoes or socks. And I said the only way to do that is to start going barefoot outside a little bit at a time until your feet get use to the cold and she said that she would try it I told her it’s a little bit when you have someone do that with you . She ask me if she sees me walk around barefoot if she could walk with me so we could chat some more I said sure but I don’t want your boyfriend to think that I’m trying to pick you up. She said that she would tell him that we are old friends and all we are doing is walking and talk and catching up . But I don’t think that this is going to be good and I don’t want to be the one that Causes them to break up or he wants to do things to me . We will see how it goes I’m thinking about telling her that it’s a bad idea and she needs to tell him the truth . So will see if we walk together tomorrow. Will everybody keep barefooting

Hi everybody,
Today I had to got to Walmart to pick up a few things and yes I was barefoot like always and most of the employees know me and they call me barefoot Rick I said hi to a few and we talked . And as we were talking we saw some people shake their heads and we even had a couple say hey if you need shoes we will buy some for you and one of the employees said no he’s always in here barefoot and we know him they said oh on I said thanks for the offer. So we talked a little bit more then I got what I need and I ran in to the same couple and they ask me why I don’t wear shoes or at least socks and I told them . They were amazed and they told me that they go barefoot in their house and in the summer time they go barefoot in their yard or when they go swimming. But never gone barefoot in a store or a gas station they don’t go barefoot in their car all I said was you are missing out being barefoot is awesome and going barefoot is good for your feet and there’s a lot of health benefits like your back will stop hurting and your knees will feel better and your feet will feel better and the muscles in your feet will get stronger wearing shoes can weaken your foot muscles and that’s not good . They ask me how I know I told them that my doctor told me going barefoot is really good for you and I have had a Foot doctor tell me that he tells his patients to go barefoot so they won’t have foot problems . They said that they hear going barefoot is bad and it’s better to wear shoes I told them to research it and talk to other’s that go barefoot like I do and talk to people that wear shoes all the time . Like when they get out of bed they put shoes on and you will hear that they have foot problems and that there toes look bad and a barefoot person toes look good . They told me that they would like to go barefoot more but they were always told that they need to wear shoes . I said I was told the same thing when I was little but I always took off my shoes and socks when ever I got the chance and now I never wear shoes or socks ever . They ask me how long have I been going barefoot I told them for over 32 years now they were amazed. So I told them that I had to go so they said they would research it I hope they do and it would be nice to see they going barefoot it’s a great lifestyle I would never give up my barefoot lifestyle for anything. Will I hope everybody keeps going barefoot .

Hi everybody,
This morning it was only 22 degrees Fahrenheit and so I had to go get gas and other stuff . So at the gas station I had some people look at me and shake their heads a even had a lady ask me if I’m crazy I said no I just don’t like wearing shoes or socks . And she said wow I never seen a guy that goes barefoot everywhere. I told her I do and I love it . So after that I went to Walmart and got a few things and nobody noticed to much but the employees there know who I am and they think it’s great that I go in barefoot. Will then I came home and started my day like I always do. So everybody keep barefooting

Hi everybody,
Today it has warmed up but the morning was cold it was 31 degrees and I went for a walk before I had to go to a doctor appointment. And like I always do I go barefoot and I never have trouble at the doctors office I do get a lot of weird looks and question and I answer the people that ask me and they are amazed that my bare feet can handle the cold weather and I tell them when you have been going barefoot as long as I have for over 32 years and I haven’t Lauren shoes or sock in that time your bare feet get tough and I also remove snow in bare feet they are really amazed . And it’s warm the temperature is 43 degrees great bare feet weather so I’m going for another barefoot walk . I love the cold weather and I love walking barefoot in the cold it’s great. I really can’t wait for it to snow again . Will everybody keep barefooting

Yesterday it was really warm in the high 50’s great barefoot weather and the ground was nice and cold it took me about one hour to do the lights and then I did the inside of my house and I did that barefoot . I had a neighbor come to my door and ask me if I was ok I said yes why?? He said I never saw anyone put up Christmas lights in bare feet and I told him that I never wear shoes or socks and then he said oh yeah you’re the one that my neighbors told me about . I said I hope it was all good he said yes they just said the you never wear shoes or socks or flip flops and that you do everything barefoot. I said yes I do and I ask him if he was new to the neighborhood he said yes so I welcome him to the neighborhood and he ask me why I don’t wear shoes so I told him and he said that he understood and he said you and my sister would get a long real well I said really he said yes she is a barefooter also and she never wears shoes unless she is at work and even at wor she takes her shoes off .
