Soles4Souls





Latisha Woods Custom High Heels has been invited to take part in a world wide art show that will be benefiting the charity known as Soles4Souls. http://www.soles4souls.org/
Soles4Souls is a Nashville-based charity that collects shoes from the warehouses of footwear companies and the closets of people like you. The charity distributes these shoes to people in need, regardless of race, religion, class, or any other criteria. Since 2005, Soles4Souls has delivered over 16 million pairs of new and gently worn shoes. The shoes have been distributed to people in over 127 countries, including Kenya, Thailand, Nepal and the United States. Soles4Souls has been featured in Runner's World, Ladies’ Home Journal, National Geographic’s Green Guide, and The New York Times. It has appeared on CBS, ABC, NBC, FOX, BBC, CNN and thousands of regional news outlets across North America.
Soles4Souls facilitates the donations of shoes, which are used to aid the hurting worldwide. Shoe companies, retailers, and individuals can donate footwear (both new and used).
The idea behind gifts of shoes is nothing new to the Soles4Souls team, as they coordinated relief efforts for the Asian Tsunami and Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, netting over 1 million pairs donated for these disasters. The team originally operated as www.katrinashoes.org with several churches partnering in the collection and distribution of footwear.

The Art Show will house fourty amazing pairs of High Heels all customized by fourty of the worlds top custom shoe designers. The show will travel to the largest fashions conventions and art shows including the NYC Gallery Show, Bread and Butter Berlin, MAGIC Las Vegas, and the Los Angeles Gallery Show. Each month "IRON FIST" will auction off ten pairs of shoes on Ebay. 100% of the proceeds will benefit Soles 4 Souls. The ART SHOE Shows will start this December, so look out for more info on Latishas Custom Soles4Soles High Heels and start looking in your closets...see what you can do to help this charity!!
