No shoes!

2/3/11

It was April the fifth of last year. The day was cloudy, the kind of cloudy that traps the heat of hell in Nampa. Any lick of the wind had disappeared, leaving us in a mourning state. Waking up to anger of nature was never an easy thing to do but for that one day I had a mission to fulfill. That burning and sweaty day was no shoe day in dedication of Tom Shoes. The entirety of the day consisted of walking the cement, rocks, and dirt barefoot; a small taste of what ill fitted feet of children in the world go through. The introduction to this day was given to me when I purchased a pair of eco friendly TOMS for Christmas. Not wearing shoes peaks people's interests. Questions are then asked and an explanation is given. Thus the cause by the simple act of not wearing shoes.

  2. freaking amazing. i'm glad that not everyone who wears TOMS does it because it's the style now. it's infuriating that something like the message behind those shoes can be turned into a meaningless fashion statement.

    keep being awesome.
