History of Shoes
The changing cycles of footwear design are a reflection of the history of civilization itself - a record of social, political, moral and even sexual evolution of cultures. An estimated 40 percent - or two billion people - either wear no shoes at all or wear only simple thong sandals. Shoe wearing is a measure of a nation's economic level. The more shoeless people - the lower the nation's socioeconomic status. Read more about the history of shoes and proper fit.

The Kid Initiative to Defeat Diabetes® (KIDD™) Curriculum
This generation of children is on the fast track to live a shorter, less healthy life span than their parents. According to Connie Diekman, Director of University Nutrition at Washington University in St. Louis, "Nutrition education needs to start in prenatal classes and move through the entire education system…Many kids -- and their parents -- simply do not know what they ought to be eating." The Kid Initiative to Defeat Diabetes® Curriculum is designed to fill this gap in information about diabetes and obesity and its relationship to nutrition and fitness.
