Flickr posted about this event:

TOMS Shoes is raising awareness about the impact shoes can have in a childs life and asking you to share a photo of you without shoes in their One Day Without Shoes 2012 Group.

I think it's nice from what I read from above, but it becomes little weird when you view the group's pool:


Probably nearly half of them are focusing on the feet or adding artistic factor on feet. So I looked into One Day Without Shoes (ODWS) website:

What is One Day Without Shoes?
The day we spread awareness of the impact a pair of shoes can have on a childs life by taking off our own. Why? Millions of children live without proper footwear, exposing them to injury and disease every day.

I don't think people who check out the group's pool would understand what awareness that ODWS is supposed to raise, even most of those people who add those photos have ever tried to understand what it is all about, I suspect. Or they just want to put their bare foot photos into that group.

Most of them are great photos as in no shoes on, but not about ODWS at all. And to be honest, though I really don't want to say this, but that pool looks more like foot fetish's heaven.

Just a friendly reminder if you want to participate, watch out the ground ahead, you don't want to step on something you shouldn't.
