Gotta love Toms Shoes

This is a company that walks the walk -- literally. It's a company founded on the principle of doing good for others. For every pair of shoes you buy, Toms donates a pair of new shoes to a child in need.

Check out today's One Day Without Shoes event!

From the Toms website:

It’s Hard Without Shoes

Through everyday encounters with domestic poverty, we are reminded to appreciate having food and shelter, but most of us all but forget about our feet. Food, shelter, AND shoes facilitate life’s fundamentals. Imagine a life without shoes; constantly aware of the ground in front of you, suffering regular cuts and scrapes, tending to infection after each walk, and enduring not only terrain, but heat and cold.

The problem is large, but the solution is simple. Wearing shoes and practicing basic hygiene can prevent both infection and disease due to unsafe roads and contaminated soil. By imagining a life barefoot, we can all contribute to the awareness of these conditions. On April 8th, communities, campuses, organizations, and individuals are banding together to walk barefoot for One Day Without Shoes.    

How many pairs of shoes have you bought this year? Were they need to have or nice to have?  If you haven't checked out Toms Shoes yet, what are you waiting for?
