As people get ready for class on Tuesday, there are two items many will not put on—shoes.

In effort to promote awareness for the millions of children who do not have shoes in the world, SMU students will join with other universities, colleges and people nationwide by walking barefoot all day.

After traveling to Argentina and seeing poverty and poor health first hand, SMU graduate Blake Mycoskie created TOMS Shoes.

For every pair of shoes bought, TOMS gives a pair of shoes to a child in need. One for One.

Last year, more than 250,000 people supported this cause by going barefoot.

Junior Kendra Eaton particpated in last years ‘Day without Shoes.’ Although she is studying abroad this semester, she still plans to spread awareness by going barefoot in London.

“It’s an easy way to spread awareness for children who can’t afford shoes,” she said. “Last year so many people went barefoot and I hope more leave their shoes at home this year.”
