A day with no shoes!

Today is a day with no shoes! Toms Shoes is a company that sells shoes and for every pair of shoes they sell the company donates a pair to a child in need. In other countries shoes are often one of the last things a family worries about. Kids walk miles to get water without shoes which leads to deformities and infections...which are 100% preventable with shoes. A day without shoes is a day for you to bring awareness to this cause. Go one day with no shoes...one...to make a statement and when people ask why you don't have shoes on you can explain...and two...you can get a little bit of a grasp as to what it is like for people in other countries that don't have the luxuries and even necessities that we do in the US. Obviously there are some places we can't go barefoot but do the best you can and even if one person asks and is informed about the global problem you have made a difference! Can't go without shoes? Then visit Toms and support the cause by purchasing a stylish pair of shoes!
