Well, good shoes are important for hiking and for comfort and confidence and so much more.

That's why the Goodie Two Shoes Foundation has been outfitting local students with new shoes and socks, listen to this, for more than 20 years.

And we caught up with this awesome nonprofit during a recent visit at Ullom Elementary.

(Myles Sheffield) Yeah, we're just getting some free shoes today, man.

(Eliana Lambour) So everybody's coming here outside.

Right behind me, they're getting new shoes for like their selves.

(Alex Tejero) So today, we have the privilege of hosting Goodie Two Shoes, a nonprofit organization that offers a new pair of shoes to all of our students here on our campus.

We have 450 students receiving shoes today, and I think the great thing about it is they get to pick their own shoe that's individualized and a shoe that fits just right.

(Alberto Rodriguez) She took me to the little section where my feet, where my feet size was.

(Nikki Berti) So shoes are critically important, one, to get to school, right, comfortably, not be worrying about if they're too tight, too small, or someone's making fun inside the classroom.

-You can get the shoes you like, and it's your size.

-Yes.

There was a lot to choose from.

Like there was like running shoes, like cute shoes like for concerts.

(Marcee Risse-Moon) It's a huge thing.

There's several kids that said they'd never gotten new shoes before; that, you know, they had to have hand-me-downs.

-It's a great opportunity to boost morale, improve self-confidence, and provide a much needed necessity.

-They're comfortable, and then they bring me some of my height up.

And it makes me jump higher.

-Yeah.

It makes me feel confident.

-Yeah.

So teachers report a brand new child, confident, coming into school on time, ready to learn with their brand new shoes.

-I got these pink and white and black shoes and blue because that's like my colors.

Those are all my favorite colors.

-What makes you feel better than having a brand new pair of sneakers that feel great and fit great?

-All of these volunteers, a program like Goodie Two Shoes, they are changing children and they are changing student outcomes.

-I gonna say in Spanish, Mom, Dad, look at my new shoes!

-They feel perfect.

-I'm happy for everybody to get some new shoes.

Thank you for everything you've done for us.

-What a wonderful organization.

And while we were there, Goodie Two Shoes served its 160,000th student.

Absolutely love that.

Thank you for what you do for our students and our community.
