He asked me why I wasn’t wearing shoes earlier then he asked me in the car why did I tell him I didn't have shoes when my shoes in the floor board. I don't wear shoes normally, people know this.

Police don't have to read you the Miranda warning, even if they arrest you. They can ask you basic questions, but they have to read you the Miranda warning if they want to question you while in police custody, or else they can't use your testimony against you later in court.
