Soles4Souls
It’s about
time to order shoes from Soles4Souls for our Honduran
friends if we’re to get them in time to put on
the Spring container. Guf and I would be happy
to pick up the entire AHMEN order again this year since
the warehouse is only an hour or so from our house and
since, as I recall, it reduces the price of the shoes
from $2.00 or $3.00 per pair to around $1.00 per
pair. It
may not be possible to get exactly the styles of shoe
in the exact sizes that we want, since Soles4Souls can
only send us what they receive. However, the more
explicit we are in ordering, the easier it would be for
them to provide what is needed.Remember
the shoes may be in US sizes but the feet are in European
sizes! So to ensure a better fit, it
would be a good idea to ask for the individual’s name, age,
and the length
of his/her feet in inches or centimeters as
well as their European size in order to make the proper
conversion to US sizes before ordering. Conversion
