TOMS Shoes is hosting “One Day Without Shoes,” Thursday, April 16 to raise awareness of the more than 40 percent of the world who live without shoes every day.

Come to Brumby Beach from noon to 6 p.m. and dance barefoot to live music, jump shoeless on our moonwalk and watch the TOMS Shoes documentary to learn more. If you already own a pair of TOMS shoes, "Style Your Sole" and decorate your own signature pair.

At 5:30 p.m. participate in a barefoot march from Brumby to Bolton to raise awareness about the issue of shoelessness.

If you can't make it out to the event, pledge to go barefoot for the entire day or just long enough to raise awareness!
