Hey I heard about this briefly and walked barefoot after I returned home from bible study, now I realize it would have made a greater impact if I knew more before I left for bible study! Mom
So there is a Tom's shoe store? Or this is a brand that can be purchased elsewhere? Can you dish up a little more info?
