Is barefoot hiking common? Being in touch with nature and Mother Earth and stuff? Or is he just an idiot?

It’s not hugely common, but common enough that it’s not unheard of. Same with barefoot running.
I have “barefoot” hiking sandals that are 4mm thick, so I can feel everything but not get rocks in my soles. Sort of a compromise.

Oh, ok, thanks. Never heard of the idea before.
