Everyone from Gandhi to Depeche Mode to your bratty little sister who wasn't doing well in school has told you to walk a mile in their shoes. Now try walking without shoes at all.
All the world over people without shoes work hard to accomplish their daily tasks. In addition to the physical toil of going shoeless, there is an increase risk of catching deadly diseases and infections. And barefoot children are not allowed to attend school, thus locking them into a life of poverty. Toms has been dedicated since its founding in 2006 to donating one pair of their shoes to children in need for every pair purchased
So today, toss off your work shoes that pinch and proudly tell your boss it's for a good cause! Raise awareness for the shoeless by running around in your stocking feet (honey, if you go 100% naked feet in the New York streets, you deserve whatever snaggletooth nastiness you get!) and get the message out to donate and participate.
