At the end of every shoe season (there are two for us: Spring\/Summer and Fall\/Winter), we clear out our stock room of shoes from seasons past to make way for new styles. First, the samples are offered to any employees who would like to give them a good home.\u00a0Lucky ladies who wear size 7 and gents who wear a size 9 enjoy rummaging through the boxes of left-over samples.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

[Ronnette, our Key Account Assistant, and Alissa, our Accounting Analyst, check out the pile of women’s shoe and sandals before we donate the remaining pairs.]<\/p>\n

The pairs of shoes and sandals left in the box at the end of the day are donated to a charity called Soles4Souls<\/a>. Their mission is to collect new shoes to give relief to the victims of abject suffering and to\u00a0collect used shoes to support micro-business efforts to eradicate poverty.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nWe’re quite happy to contribute to the cause. Our shoes <\/a>mean so much to us!\u00a0It’s a good feeling to know each pair can improve an individual’s quality of life – in any way possible!<\/p>\n
