Toms Shoe Co.'s 'One Day Without Shoes', 2014.. Barefoot for a Good Cause!

My friend, Daisy, with bonus chalk art points!

     April 29th, 2014, was the annual campaign started by the Toms Shoe Co. to raise awareness for helping poverty-stricken kids, mostly in 3rd world countries, who can't afford shoes when they DO actually need them! So, every year, usually around this time, it's "One Day Without Shoes", where you are supposed to go barefoot EVERYwhere (I kinda' do this anyway, to an extent, weather permitting! LOL!).. school, stores, work (if allowed), and when asked by strangers (which you will inevitably be), tell them about Toms mission. I do think it's kinda' cool that the company sends one pair of shoes out, to these poor kids, for every pair that's purchased. That easily qualifies as "putting your money where your mouth is". I had been all set to play along this year, had some cool & fun photo ideas for bare feet in public places/spaces, but, here in NY, it was 49 degrees and raining, and I did not see one barefoot person anywhere..uh, except at the pedi place, where I was enjoying my bi-weekly "therapy"! (wink) ..So, hopefully next year.. Hey Toms, let's shoot for mid-May instead of April! Here's some of the cuter photos that I've seen from two days ago, including participation by some of my best "photography & bare feet" buddies!

One Day Without Shoes..and a fine day for bare feet on the windshield! :)

One Day Without Shoes.. and a fine day for styling hair, bare feet for the whole shift!

One Day Without Shoes, and I think the whole staff at a Herba-Life shop was in on the fun!

One Day Without Shoes.. and my friend Stacy says, "Ask away!!"  :)
