It is George's aim to inspire other people to follow in his footsteps and join him in the bare-feet lifestyle.

"It's pretty amazing to think my feet could be what pays my bills," he continued.

 "I hope I can become a millionaire and I would be surprised if I didn't make that kind of money in the next five or so years.

"I felt liberated when I first took my shoes off. I would never consider wearing them again. I will be barefoot until the day I die," he added.
