Share-A-Pair Shoe Drive
Midwest Shoe Merchants Share-A-Pair is a Midwest Shoe Drive to get shoes on individuals feet. Shoes are the foundation of our body and help individuals explore the world.
Our family owned business, Midwest Shoe Merchants: Stan's Shoes, The Vionic Store, Goodmiles Running Company, & Waxberg's Walk Shoppe have a passion of shoes and we can use that passion to help get shoes on everyone! Every night over 1,500 people live on the streets of Milwaukee and many of them go without basic needs. We use our passion of shoes to give back and make a difference in our own backyard.
