Sure, you may have heard of people going their entire lives without pants. But, have you heard of any New Yorker going a single afternoon without shoes? Some might cringe at the thought. This Tuesday, though, TOMS is celebrating One Day Without Shoes to raise global awareness about issues surrounding children's health and education. The extra daring might go on a walk, play at the park, or practice yoga barefoot. Not your style? Stop by STORY for a grape stomp with wine and a barefoot band.
