Toms Shoes - One Day Without Shoes
In an effort to bring attention to the impact a simple pair of shoes can have in a child's life, Toms Shoes announces its third annual One Day Without Shoes campaign that asks everyone worldwide to go barefoot on April 8th. Barefoot events around the world from Venice to Little Rock, Dubai to London have already been planned, with more in the works.
On April 8th communities and individuals will be spreading awareness about the importance of shoes in parts of the world where children's feet are exposed to debilitating diseases. So many of the world's children in developing countries grow up without shoes, having to walk miles to get food and water, medical help, and attend school (which often require shoes as uniform). A leading cause of disease in these areas is soil-based parasites.
