The shoes were specifically designed for kids in developing countries who can't afford to buy new shoes every year, the shoe's creator, Kenton Lee, told BuzzFeed News.
They are made of rubber and leather and are meant to last at least five years.

Lee tried to offer the shoe concept to major companies like Nike, Crocs, and Toms, but was turned down, according to BuzzFeed. Eventually he developed the design with a company called Proof of Concept.Advertisement
Donors can purchase the shoes, which cost $10, to send to developing countries. About 2,500 children are already wearing them in seven countries, Lee told Buzzfeed.
