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.
The Shoe That Grows expands five sizes and lasts for years, protecting health and access to education for kids impacted by poverty and crisis worldwide.
Because International exists to alleviate poverty in part by manufacturing and distributing impact products like The Shoe That Grows — but we can’t do it alone.

At this time, we are only producing The Shoe That Grows in black. We've made this change based on feedback received from those both distributing and using the shoes. One of the reasons why shoes are so important is because they allow access to education by completing school uniform requirements. For many children, black shoes are the only color allowed by school dress codes. We want to make sure that, no matter where they live, the kids who receive our shoes can wear them for all aspects of their lives.
