Did you know that almost 300 million impoverished children all over the world are unable to buy a pair of shoes?
Moreover, a lot of children have no choice but to wear shoes that do not fit due to their poor economic conditions. Mr. Kenton Lee is an inventor who has created a shoe design which may eliminate this problem with a unique design that can adjust the size of the shoe to the person. As you can imagine, this topic has created a lot of buzz online with many people worldwide!

Here is a photo of Kenton Lee with his original shoe design for children that can adjust its size five times as the child’s foot size changes.

Here is a photo of the adjustable shoe that allows a customized fit depending on the size of the foot by adjusting the shape in three place shown in the photo below. Kenton believes that the “5 Stage Shoe” can be used by a child for a minimum of 5 years.

Children who do not have the proper footwear face serious health issues such as permanent damage to the feet, infection and disease so creating a shoe for poor children is a great solution to remove these dangers from their everyday lives.

Here are some children wearing Kenton Lee’s invention and carry a sign that says “the shoe that grows”.

This is a wonderful idea to help poor children but there are many other ideas that are needed to eliminate poverty among all children everywhere!
