Until Kenton Lee looked down and saw a little shoeless girl standing next to him, he had no idea he wanted to be a designer. And yet, that's where he got his big idea: shoes that can grow five sizes and last for at least five years, designed to help the poor children who don't have the means to buy a new pair as soon as they outgrow their old ones.
After teaming up with Proof of Concept, an Oregon-based shoe development company, Lee released the first official batch of shoes in 2014. They came in two sizes: for kindergartners to 4th graders and for 5th to 9th graders. Each of the two versions can be adjusted at three places: straps on the toe, heel and either side. The shoes are made out of compressed rubber and high-quality leather.
