so basically, this guy found these shoes in argentina that he thought were amazingly comfortable, and he noticed the high demand for shoes. thus his idea is born, he’s selling these awesome shoes now and for every pair you buy, he donates a pair to someone in need.
you can read a bit and purchase the shoes here: official site
and you can read an article that explains a little more on blake’s (the founder) myspace: myspace
they look like slip on vans or converse and they run about the same price as vans, and cheaper than converse, (they run about $38 from what i’ve seen, and shipping is really reasonable) but you’ve got to remember, you’re essentially getting two pairs for that price! one for you, and one for someone who probably has never owned a pair of shoes in their life!
my roommate just ordered a pair so i’ll be checking his out soon, and as long as these shoes turn out to be as great as i keep hearing they are, i’ll be ordering a pair or two in a few weeks when i get my financial aid excess.
i think it’s a really great cause and hey, you could always use another pair (or two) of shoes

nope, not PPP. my PPP posts are titled with a (P) at the end. i posted this on facebook and myspace as well. even if you don’t like the shoes you should def think about donating.
