Growing Feet. Growing Futures.
​Help every student step into the school year with confidence.
Summer is a time for children to play, explore, and grow. In fact, research shows that children often experience their fastest growth during the summer months, growing up to 50% faster than at other times of the year. At the same time, outdoor play quickly wears out the shoes they rely on every day.
For some, a broken or outgrown pair of shoes simply means a trip to the store. However, for others, replacing footwear that has become too small, worn out, or damaged is not always possible.
When shoes no longer fit properly or are worn beyond use, the impact goes far beyond comfort. Ill-fitting footwear can cause pain, blisters, and affect healthy foot development during a critical stage of growth.
We have seen, firsthand, students come to school wearing shoes with holes, footwear that no longer fits, and shoes that have been worn well beyond use. That is why we created the Sole Campaign.
Launching ahead of September, our Sole Campaign helps provide brand-new, properly fitting everyday shoes to Durham students who need them most.
A new pair of shoes does more than protect a child’s feet. It helps them participate comfortably in class, recess, gym, and everyday activities while giving them the confidence to start the school year feeling prepared and included.
Every contribution helps Durham students start the school year with shoes that fit, feel comfortable, and learn confidently.
