An estimated one billion pairs of shoes lay idle in American closets, while millions of people here in the United States and throughout the world do not own a single pair. That’s why Allen Edmonds is teaming up with Soles4Souls, the non-profit organization that facilitates the collection of footwear for those in need, and asking you to let someone walk a mile in your shoes, literally.
Simply bring in a pair of gently worn men’s, women’s or children’s shoes to participating Allen Edmonds company-owned stores from March 7th through the 23rd and save $50 on a new pair of Allen Edmonds. Allen Edmonds will donate all collected footwear to Soles4Souls. Visit www.allenedmonds.com to view the list of participating locations.
“We are honored to partner with Soles4Souls to support its mission to donate footwear to those in need,” said Mark Birmingham, President and CEO of Allen Edmonds Shoe Corporation. “It is a simple way to make a difference in the lives of many.”
To date, Soles4Souls has donated over 3 million pairs of shoes to people in need in over 59 countries around the world through donations from footwear companies, retailers, non-profit organizations and individuals.
