Giving Sole Support to Soles in Need

ToeSox helps organization help others

Carlsbad, CA. – May 19, 2010 – Carlsbad-based sock company ToeSox, Inc. has focused its goals on enhancing overall foot health, hygiene and safety. With this commitment in place, ToeSox was compelled to support Soles4Souls in its mission to put footwear on those in need. ToeSox launched a 1-for-1 promotion to their retail client-base and committing to donate one pair of ToeSox for every pair purchased in the month of April. The sales came in and more than 400 pair of ToeSox were shipped to Soles4Souls for distribution to those in need of footwear.

Soles4Souls organization, headquartered in Tennessee, began in 2004 after the tsunami hit Southeast Asia. From help abroad in Haiti to serving locally in the 2010 Tennessee floods, Soles4Souls is “changing the world one pair at a time.”
“It seemed like a natural fit for ToeSox to help,” says ToeSox president, Joe Patterson.

Patterson hopes to work with Soles4Souls again in the future and give even more ToeSox to this organization that helps millions.

Tension

To counteract years of tension, some preliminary exercises can help your feet come alive and respond more readily to the demands of standing poses.

1. One good way to restore proper tone to the sole of the foot is to step onto a tennis ball. After waking up your feet with the tennis ball, it’s a good idea to stretch both the sole and the top of the foot.

2. A simple way to stretch the underside of the foot is to kneel with the toes turned under.

3. To stretch the top of the foot, Virasana (Hero Pose) is invaluable.
