Every day there are kids all around the world that go without shoes. This can cause skin infections,sores, frostbite, and more. So why does my family go barefoot one day every April?
"One Day Without Shoes." In 2011, the date is April 5.
Tom's Shoes has put this annual event together to help spread the word about kids with no shoes.
All year long, any pair of shoes bought at Tom's Shoes gets another pair to a child in need. Join the One Day Without Shoes cause to help spread awareness. Go around barefoot all day and when people ask you why, you can explain. This is also a good time to go through all of your shoes and donate unwanted shoes in good condition to your local shelter. If you need new shoes, consider buying a pair from Tom's to help prevent a child from getting blisters and worse.
