The real purpose of Go Barefoot Day is it encourages people to donate shoes both new and used in a way provide support for the victims of natural disasters. Nearly 19 million pairs of shoes have been donated from all over the world in the year 2005. Soles4Souls is a non-profit organization that is encouraging people to provide their help and support in the form of shoes for millions of underprivileged children who are residing globally.
