Over 1.5 billion people suffer from soil transmitted diseases worldwide.
Without shoes, children are especially vulnerable to diseases, parasites and injury. Children who get sick or injured miss school, can’t help their families, and suffer needlessly. And since children’s feet grow so quickly, they often outgrow donated shoes within a year, leaving them once again exposed.
The Shoe That Grows can change that.
High-quality velcro and upper materials withstand daily use as the expanding shoe grows with a child. In the latest iteration, the sole is a single, molded piece for increased durability.
This design has undergone rigorous testing both in the factory in Kenya and in the field to ensure The Shoe That Grows will last.
