On April 8, TOMS is raising awareness about the importance shoes have on children’s lives through its One Day Without Shoes campaign.
Think abut not wearing shoes in your office. That may not be a terrible stretch, but think about not wearing shoes to walk across the parking lot to work. Ouch! Oil, dirt, rocks, and probably more.
What if walking was your only transportation to food, clean water, and medical care?
The filth may be at the forefront of your mind when thinking “barefoot,” but what about cuts and sores? Infections? A lot can be prevented by one simple item – shoes. TOMS business model is great… with every pair of TOMS shoes purchased, TOMS gives a pair of new shoes to a child in need. Check out the inspirational One for One video.
A day without shoes? Heck, I’m from Alabama so shoeless is a way of life even if I do live in Longmont now. Then again, I’m not too fond of wearing shirts either.
