Zazzle.com is a website that is known for its support of independent artists and creators. One of their creators features Afridrilles which are personalized espadrille shoes. These shoes are made by hand by women in Kenya Africa and each shoe purchase helps to improve the lives of African women, and mothers who are raising special needs children.

The
sale of these shoes makes it possible for these women to be financially independent
and it’s also a way for these women to be educated by learning skills that will
help them to provide a better life for their families.

You may be wondering about the Afridrilles handmade shoes' quality and fit. These shoes are made very well, if you like to walk then you will enjoy wearing these 100% East African cotton-made shoes.
Know that the shoes do have a tight fit when you first put them on but with wearing they ease up and conform to your foot. I love them and wore them all last summer with casual jeans and sundresses.
