What would one day without shoes mean ? The founder of TOMS shoes inspired us to find out exactly how millions of children around the world live everyday. We joined people worldwide to spread awareness of the impact a pair of shoes can have on a child's life by taking off our own. Why ? Millions of children live without proper footwear, exposing them to injury and disease every day. Today we walked barefoot to the Red Tent to spread this message. We were treated to tea and foot baths and then continued on to the Sundy House where we relaxed by the pool and contemplated how many children in the world are living and how fortunate we are. We took a few minutes to write how we felt...
Walking without shoes around Delray Beach was hard. I kept having to make sure I wasn't walking on any glass so that something would not hurt my feet. It was really hot so it was hard to walk around my feet really hurt so I really understand how painful it must be for these poor children.

I would hate to not have shoes because it is painful. My poor feet were hot. I feel bad for all the kids that don't have shoes. One Day Without Shoes is a great cause, but maybe just not for my feet.

One Day Without Shoes shows awareness that not everyone is fortunate enough to have shoes. 1, 890,000 children are infected with jiggers, burrowing fleas that cause painful lesions. I feel bad for all of the kids. This is a great cause.
