One Day without Shoes

One for One Movement:
In 2006, American traveler Blake Mycoskie befriended children in Argentina and found they had no shoes to protect their feet. Wanting to help, he created TOMS Shoes, a company that would match every pair of shoes purchased with a pair of new shoes given to a child in need. One for One. Blake returned to Argentina with a group of family, friends and staff later that year with 10,000 pairs of shoes made possible by TOMS customers.





One day without shoes:
Toms shoes encourages individuals to go the day without shoes. This year the one day without shoes took place on April 5. People become curious why you arent wearing shoes, they start asking questions, spreading the word, and purchasing Toms shoes which in turn gives a pair of shoes to a child in Argentina!


Of course I was unable to go to work without shoes today (although several people across the country did not wear shoes today to support the cause). Here are Ella and I supporting the cause tonight. Ella and I are both getting are new pair of Toms here in a few short weeks!
