shes each time a child needs them. As a result, abut 300 millin children arund the

thinking, wuldn’t it be nice if there were a pair f shes that culd grw with her
feet?”

Because Internatinal. In the ffice f Because Internatinal, Lee keeps a pair f his
wn shes t help him remember his prmise. He says, “I tld myself I wuld nt get
new shes until the idea was dne. S, thse are the shes that I wre fr a little ver
