He partnered with charity Because International and he finished the shoe in 20112. It has since been distributed all around the world and they were handed out in over 100 countries. Over 1,75,000 children were given a pair.
Children usually outgrow shoes within a year. These are built to last at least five years. After a lot of commercial interest in the shoes, the team saw an opportunity to help more children. Expandals are now commercially available to buy. You can pre-order a pair on Kickstarter for $40. For every pair bought, a pair of the Shoe That Grows will be donated and distributed near Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
