Today, the philanthropic folks at TOMS shoes want to raise awareness about how many children around the world go without shoes, so they’ve declared it One Day Without Shoes. To get the message across, you just have to kick off those shoes.

We understand it’s Thursday, you might have to walk to class or be in an office all day, but a few minutes is all it takes. We've already seen a few folks running around downtown without 'em, but then again, in this college town and they might be too hung over to realize they forgot to put on shoes.

Sign up to participate at onedaywithoutshoes.com.And if you’re feeling even more benevolent, buy a pair of TOMS for yourself. Every pair sold, they donate a pair to a child in need.
