TOMS Shoes (TOMS.com) wants to help raise awareness today to the impact a pair of shoes has on a child's life and call people to action.
"The problem is large but the solution is simple," Blake Mycoskie, TOMS Shoes Founder and Chief Shoe Giver said. "Wearing shoes and basic hygiene can prevent both infection and disease due to unsafe roads and contaminated soil. By imagining a life without shoes, we can all contribute to the awareness of these conditions, which is why we ask everyone to join TOMS on April 5 and participate in One Day Without Shoes.”
