The Philanthropist Invented The "Growing Shoes" Soft Leather For Shoe Upper.

According to the daily mail of the UK, the The Shoe that Grows uses adjustable upper and toe bands to expand the size of shoes, up to five sizes.

An idea based on charity and helping children.

Kenton Lee of Idaho, South America, worked for a while in Nairobi, Kenya, and found that the child was running around with barefoot because of the size of his shoes, prompting him to come up with this idea.

He said that after asking many questions, all the problems come to the conclusion that if only a pair of shoes is available, how can we adjust and expand the size so that the children can have a pair of suitable shoes for a long time.

"I think we can create some incredible new things."

The feet of children aged 2 to 6 grow very fast. In general, they need to change the size of shoes in a few months.

Even for families living in rich and developed countries, this may increase parental financial burden.

For those children in developing countries, it is even harder to buy new shoes every few months. Children may run barefoot.

They may cut their feet and become infected.

Use sandals

This "growing shoe" is similar to a typical sandal, with a hard rubber sole used to protect feet and a vamp made of soft leather.

Made of vamp.

The shoe upper button of the new shoe can adjust the width of the shoe according to the feet of the child, while the strap on the toe can move and make the shoes longer.

The shoe heel buckle can also be adjusted to make it more comfortable to wear.

Kun ton Lee says the shoes can be adjusted to five sizes and can be worn for five years.

At present, there are two different sizes to enter the market, namely the trumpet (suitable for children under 4 grade in kindergarten) and the large (kindergarten grade 5 to 9 grade children).

He is consulting with other international organizations to plan to send shoes to African orphanages.

They hope that other charities and health workers will give these shoes to their children when they are in Africa.

Because Kun ton Lee has been taking care of 140 AIDS orphans in Motherly Care Children's Home in Nairobi, prompting him to develop the idea of developing such shoes.

He said he would never forget that one day he walked along a road with a group of children in the orphanage.

"Next to a girl dressed in white, I see her shoes are so small, and there are so many children around wearing small shoes."
