My Barefoot Day
I got some weird looks today with no shoes on and taking pics of my feet but I thought it would be cool to capture all the different grounds that I walk on throughout the day. I could have taken more but my battery died. I'm headin over to TOMS to clothe my barefeet and someone elses.
One Day Without Shoes
Today thousands of people are taking off their shoes to raise awareness.
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.

For every pair of shoes you purchase, TOMS will give a pair of shoes to a child in need. One for One.
