Shoe expands five sizes, helps kids in developing countries - Now? They're almost all gone.

Now? They're almost all gone.

Because International, the non-profit organization Lee founded that backs the shoes, is now ready to place its largest order yet: 5,000 pairs.

“How many times do you get to do something that changes the world?” Pitman asked. The shoes are already on the feet of children in Kenya, Vietnam and Nicaragua, and will be coming to new countries this summer as missions groups and churches travel to developing nations.

People can purchase a pair for $10 to send with an organization already traveling to such countries, or they can sponsor an entire bag of The Shoe That Grows.

“I want to keep going and going and going until every child has a pair of shoes,” Lee added.
