On April 16th, TOMS Shoes is inspiring individuals across the world to leave their shoes at the door for ONE day, ONE hour, ONE minute in an effort to bring attention to the impact a simple pair of shoes can have on one’s life.

Walking is the primary mode of transportation in developing countries, and children often have to walk miles to get food, water or medical help. Without shoes, they are subject to cuts, infection and soil-transmitted diseases that can drastically affect their lives.

Join me, Michael Moubarek, a campus rep for TOMS Shoes and others from the Rockville area on April 16th at 11am for a one mile walk from the steps of the Old Red Brick Courthouse to the Rockville Town Square. Leave your shoes at home or on the steps of the Courthouse and walk with us.

The proposed route from the Old Red Brick Courthouse to the middle of the Rockville Town Square can be viewed via Google Maps at: http://tinyurl.com/daywithoutshoes

About TOMS Shoes

TOMS Shoes was inspired by an Argentine shoe with a hundred year history and the continent's poverty and health issues, TOMS was created with a singular mission: To make life more comfortable. TOMS accomplishes this through it's ultra lightweight design and the company's commitment to match every pair purchased with a donated pair to a child in need...there are no complicated formulas, it's simple.you buy a pair of TOMS and the company gives a pair to a child on your behalf. The vibrant colors and patterns in the debut collection depict Blake Mycoskie's life changing experiences in his travels to South America where he embraced the lifestyle wholeheartedly and therefore gave back by creating TOMS - shoes for Tomorrow.
