It is not very difficult to empathize with deprivation if you had been on the same boat before. As a child, Hav A Sole Founder, Rikki Mendias spent over five years in a shelter. His mother struggled to make ends meet and couldn’t even afford to buy him a pair of much needed shoes. This early deprivation caused Rikki to develop an obsession for shoes and he started building a substantial sneaker collection. One night, Rikki realized that he had more shoes than he needed and decided to give away some of them – a pivotal moment that started a movement that has been going strong through the years. From that moment, Hav A Sole has since given thousands of pairs of shoes to those in need. Looking back, the woman who gave Rikki his first pair of Vans at the shelter would be proud at the person he has become. Listen to this inspiring story on this episode with your host, Thane Marcus Ringler.
