The homeless and working poor walk significant distances on a daily basis. Â In our city, the homeless walk an average of 40 blocks to reach local services. Â Further, the rate of diabetes and foot problems (such as open wounds, fungal infections, calluses, corns, and bunions) is much higher in these populations than in the general population. Â Good footwear becomes not just a necessity, but a medical issue. Â And yet, most of the homeless and working poor are wearing shoes and boots that are the wrong size, have holes in them, and/or have unattached soles. Â We can and should do better by them. Â This is the mission of Heart & Sole.
