There is nothing worse than walking outside to get the mail barefoot and stepping on an errant rock or tripping on the neighborhood kids’ toy car.  Stubbing your toe or feeling that pain point on the bottom of your foot is not a feeling anyone enjoys.  But try that feeling all day everyday for as long as you can remember.  That is what life is like without shoes for kids around the world.  That is why our friends at TOMS are so committed to bringing shoes to kids in need. 

Today is TOMS’ One Day Without Shoes.  And we here at Gowalla are all in.  And, to encourage you to think about how great it is to have shoes as a normal part of your day, we want to see where you will go today without shoes.  Check-in and mention “#withoutshoes” or “TOMS” to earn an awesome pin.
