Go Barefoot for TOMS


Blake and his team are incredible- leading a revolution one pair at a time. 




Today, April 16th, TOMS is sponsoring "ONE DAY WITHOUT SHOES"- a day to really experience what it means to go barefoot. Here are the facts:

  • Fact #1: In some developing nations, children must walk for miles to food, clean water and to seek medical help.
  • Fact #2: Cuts and sores on feet can lead to serious infection.
  • Fact #3: Often, children cannot attend school barefoot.
  • Fact #4: In Ethiopia, approximately one million people are suffering from Podoconiosis, a debilitating and disfiguring disease caused by walking barefoot in volcanic soil.
  • Fact #5: Podoconiosis is 100% preventable by wearing shoes.

Check out the movement HERE and join us in walking barefoot- around your house, to class, or all around town!
