They got shoes.

Most states adopted the NFHS rules 20-plus years ago (Texas and Massachusetts are the exceptions). NFHS rules do not allow barefoot kicking.
Also, shoes are much better now.

Shoes have gotten a lot better. I remember as kids when we used kick field goals barefooted off the street over the power lines. We had bloody feet but we DNGAF. Now I get nervous walking out to my truck at home barefoot..

This is a good video about...well, it sort of was a fad...because nobody after the 80's nobody did it really. But it was popular for a brief window.

Last Monday night when the Broncos defeated the Green Bay Packers, 17-14, during a snowstorm in Denver, Rich Karlis, the Denver place-kicker, ran through the ankle-deep snow with his right foot bare.
''I didn't have any option,'' said Karlis, who succeeded on 32 of 36 field goal attempts and 48 of 50 conversions in his first two seasons with the Broncos.
''I haven't kicked with a shoe in seven years, since I began at the University of Cincinnati.''
The snow and the 17-degree temperature did not bother the 25-year- old kicker. He converted after two Denver touchdowns in the opening minute and hit on a 30-yard field goal.
