About Successful Shoes
Successful Shoes is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization designed to restore the feeling of confidence, power, and authority in women-in-transition to strive for success. Successful Shoes provides this support through shoe donations from successful women and encouragement and career development services. The premise of Successful Shoes is to give women-in-transition the opportunity to literally walk in the shoes of success, to motivate them to achieve personal success.
Shoes play a major role in a woman's life. Her attitude, confidence, and demeanor can be determined by the shoes she wears. Getting new shoes is symbolic to starting over, taking on additional tasks, and a new direction in life. The intent our organization is to assist women-in-transition, who have been battered, abused, incarcerated, or have experienced challenging setbacks, to take on the persona of the shoes and its former owner to be motivated for a new way of life by stepping into new shoes. With new shoes comes new expectations. These shoes are big shoes to fill and we at Successful Shoes, along with our donors, support all of the women who receive the shoes in embracing their new path. It is our hope that when these women step into these shoes, they will use the new zeal to begin to make their own footprints in the path of success.
Successful Shoes accepts gently-worn and new shoes from women all over the United States and provides these shoes to women in missions and homes throughout the Houston metropolitan area. Though Successful Shoes works directly with identified local shelters, women with proven need can benefit from the provided services based upon requests and referrals.
