Hi everybody,
It’s been getting really hot where I live and it’s been in the 100 degrees Fahrenheit plus and I still go barefoot everywhere. This morning I went to Walmart to pick up a medication and I went barefoot like always and at 8:30 this morning it was 83 degrees Fahrenheit and and the cool floor in Walmart felt so good. And today’s high is going to be 105 degrees Fahrenheit now that’s a little bit hot . My doctor told me yesterday to be careful not to burn my feet and I said I will try not to . And he ask if he could look at my bare feet ( I always go barefoot to doctors appointments) and I said sorry that they are really dirty and he said that ok and he looked at my bare feet and he said wow you have every hard calluses on the bottoms of your bare feet. I said yeah remember I got everywhere barefoot all year around and he said yes you do . And that’s why I need to be careful because of my calluses I won’t really feel the heat but I could still burn my feet really bad . So I said I will be careful. While I was at Walmart this morning I saw one other person barefoot and the other was wearing socks. And as I was waiting to get my medication their was a lady behind me and she said wow you’re barefoot and I said yes I am and she said it is to hot to wear shoes. I said yes and I never wear shoes I’m always barefoot and one of the employees at Walmart that knows me said yeah he’s always barefoot even in the winter time. The lady was amazed and she said that she just might remove her flip flops . I said the floy feels really good and then she ask me if I get pedicures I said yes I do and she said that she could tell because of my toe nails are every nice and shiny and they look gorgeous . I said thank you and she said that it’s really nice to see a man take care of his feet and to see a man go barefoot . I just smiled and said thanks for the compliment and she took off her flip flops and she ask me if my feet are dirty or will they get dirty?? I showed her my bare feet and they were really dirty and I told her that just from my truck to the pharmacy and she said wow so I’m e will get that dirty I said yes and I told her that all you have to do is wash your feet . And after I got my medication and she got hers I said nice talking to you and I went my way and she went her way and she had her flip flops in her hand and shopping barefoot. Will everybody keep barefooting

Hi everybody ,

Not one word was said then one of them took me back and I sat there waiting for the doctor. Then she came in and we talked and then she asked me if I have shoes I told her that I’m a full time barefooter and I don’t wear shoes and I asked her if she is ok with me coming to her office barefoot? And she said yes she is good with me being barefoot and after we talked about me being barefoot and why she understood and then she asked me if I get pedicures and I told her that I get a pedicure every month and then she asked me where do I go to get my pedicure I told her and she said that she is going to try them . She said that my toes look every nice and she loves the way my toes look I said thanks . Then she said see you in two months I said ok then I walked out and got in my truck and came home it was a great doctor appointment. Well everybody keep barefooting.

Hi everybody,
Yesterday was a great day to be going barefoot and I did a lot of things barefoot. I even went for a 6 mile walk barefoot and I saw a lot of people walking in sandals and flip flops but nobody walking barefoot I was the only one. I did have a lot of people look at me and ask me where are your shoes and I said I don’t wear shoes the look on their face was like wow . They ask me if my feet are tough and I said yes they are but they need to be a little bit tougher now that it’s warmer I can go for longer barefoot walks. They said wow and they asked me what was the farthest that I have walked barefoot I told them 12 miles and it was awesome I’m hoping to go even farther like 15 to 20 miles barefoot. They were amazed that I’m going to try walking barefoot and walk barefoot up to 20 miles. I said yes after this storm pass that we are getting this weekend. Two of them ask if they could join me I said that would be awesome I really don’t like walking alone. And I ask if they are going to walk barefoot to they said no their feet are not that tough. So I said ok here’s my phone number and they said they can’t wait to see me walk barefoot that far. So I said well I have to go the other way and they said we will walk with you and we talked about all the places I have gone walking barefoot and all the different textures of ground. They are every interested on how I been going barefoot and how long I have been going barefoot to . So we talked and they were amazed. So after we got back to our car’s they gave me their number and they want to walk around more with me and I said it would be awesome so I said goodbye they said goodbye and I came home and I can’t wait to go for my walk after this storm passes today it’s going to rain and snow so I hope everybody keep going barefoot.

Today is a great day for going barefoot this morning the temperature was 50 degrees at 6:30 am . But this weekend it’s going to rain and snow and only be in the 30’s . I hope it snows I would love to walk barefoot one more time in the snow. I just love the feel of snow under my bare feet. And I love walking barefoot in the rain to . This morning I went to a barefoot walk and the ground felt so good no cold not hot just right. And I walked about 4 miles barefoot today and my feet feel so good I walked on grass , blacktop, and cement and wow I forgot how all of the texture felt. I got use to snow and ice and cold blacktop and cement and grass . And I can’t wait for spring and to be able to go hiking barefoot and do other things barefoot. Will everybody keep barefooting.

Hi everybody,
It’s been a great barefoot day and this morning it’s was cold 33 degrees and now it’s 54 degrees and I did my barefoot walk and some other things that I had to do and it was so good to be outside and warm enough for a light jacket or long sleeve shirt and great barefoot weather. And one of my neighbors she joined me for a walk and she also walks barefoot and it was nice to walk with someone that loves to go barefoot as well. And when we got done with our walk she went home and I went home and I had to go to Walmart and grab a few things and so I went in barefoot like always and people look at me but they didn’t say a word. Then I was walking towards where they had some summer clothes out and I saw a lady and she was barefoot and her kids were barefoot to I was happy to see that I wasn’t the only one in Walmart that was barefoot. She looked at me and said it’s a nice day to be barefoot I said yes it is. And so I looked around and I left and went to the checkout paid for my things and when I was walking out of Walmart I saw another person walking in barefoot and he saw me and he smiled I smiled back . It was so awesome to see people going barefoot last year I really didn’t see people go barefoot but this year to see a few people going barefoot is really awesome I hope to see more people going barefoot this summer. Will everybody keep going barefoot.
