For every pair of shoes bought, they donate a pair to a child who needs shoes. How awesome is that??!
Shoes.
How ridiculous is that? How often do you put on one of your 4839208 pairs of shoes and think about the fact that you have them? How often do you look at where your clothing was made and wondering if it came from a factory in China that tried to organize a union only to have the union director taken outside and his knees broken? How often do we look at our fruit and wonder if it came from a sustaining community in Honduras (Dole...grr...) and wonder if the people in the field for 14 hours a day are making enough to feed their own family. Ironic, right?
I sure don't think about it enough. And it makes me mad that I don't.

Great concept but I just can not bring myself to buy the shoes. They are really not my style. If a bigger more well know shoe store was in on it I would be more then happy to help. I know we all need to think like this more often but it really is hard. If have the same feelings about the coffee industry and how they treat and pay there workers so we can have our amazing cup of coffee in morning. If you have never seen it you should watch the movie Black Gold. Happy Holidays!!!
