TAKE THE WALK + STYLE YOUR SOLE

“We want to inspire others to look for simple tangible ways to make a difference. It is easy to be halted by the great hurdles of poverty and AIDS, but making an impact can begin as simply as giving someone a pair of shoes, or buying a song.” - Taylor HansonBeginning Apr 9th, HANSON will embark on the next leg of their The Walk Tour in support of their new album, The Walk, and continuing their commitment to fighting poverty and AIDS in Africa, an effort that began with their trip to Africa to record the charity single, “Great Divide”. TOMS Shoes starts with a simple idea – if you buy a pair of shoes, founder Blake Mycoskie will donate an equal pair to a deserving child. To date, TOMS have donated 58,000 pairs of shoes and last November HANSON joined them on their second shoe drop, delivering a whopping 50,000 pairs of shoes to children in Africa!

Now, HANSON are launching their own custom TOMS “Great Divide” Shoe. Included with every pair of shoes sold is a download card for their song “Great Divide”, as well as a special acoustic recording. The proceeds from the downloads will go to help HIVSA, an HIV research hospital in Soweto, South Africa. By purchasing these special shoes, not only are you giving a free pair of shoes to a child in need, you are helping to prevent the mother to child transmission of HIV/AIDS.
