Mar 28, 2011Alright, everyone, mark your calendars for April 5th, 2011, (the
Tuesday after next). TOMS, a shoe company, is promoting One Day Without
Shoes, an awareness program about how much we take shoes for granted,
especially compared to those less-fortunate than us who are barefoot and
suspectable to such dieases 365 days a year.
Participating
in this event is pretty easy to figure out; just go barefoot the entire
day. At school? Barefoot. Work? Barefoot. In the gym? Barefoot.
Basically, wherever and whenever you can actually go barefoot to raise
awareness about TOMS' efforts. Events are being held all over the
world, so it wouldn't hurt to see any are happening near you.
And
what if you can't partake by ridding your shoes for the day? Well,
TOMS allows for other ways to spread awareness including pre-formated
lettering for banners, shirts, posters, fliers, signs, stickers,
stencils, and more! The point is to get the word out lol
So,
why not participate? Even as nudists, I'm sure the majority of us have
some footwear on, so we'll be learning a thing as well. TOMS itself
donates 1 pair of shoes for every pair bought through them, so it would
be a positive experience for all. So mark your calendars and let the
little piggies breathe for a day lol.

One Day Without Shoes is the annual day when we take off our shoes to raise global awareness for children's health and education. It will be April 28,2014
National Go Barefoot Day. June 1, 2014. Whether you're at work or not, find a way to rebel against shoes, be it running barefoot through the grass and pampering your feet, or kicking off your shoes...ReactReply - KE
KeithMar 27, 2014I am throughly confused as to when this event is to occur.
The first post says 5th April,
Other posts today that is tomorrow, when it will be the 29th of March.
From the included website the message is
Change the road ahead for millions and join us on April 29, 2014.
