National Two Different Colored Shoes Day is a day set aside to recognize and celebrate the uniqueness and diversity of humanity.
Where the simple and lighthearted act of purposely wearing two different colored shoes demonstrates the courage to “take a risk” and step outside of one’s daily routine.
National Two Different Colored Shoes Day is celebrated annually on May 3 and encourages the beauty of human diversity. Being unique sets us apart, and this is something that should not be mocked, but rather embraced. There is nothing more unique than knowingly throwing on two unmatched shoes, and strutting comfortably in them.
This colorful day was created by Dr. Arlene Kaiser to laud the diversity and differences that make humans great. Dr. Kaiser started the trend by wearing two different colored shoes two or three times a week while simply going about her normal day. People quickly began to embrace Kaiser’s unique way of stepping through life. They joined her in celebrating their differences by wearing two different colored shoes, and soon it spread all over the world.
Dr. Kaiser is an educator who has taught more than 4,000 students in her time. She strongly believes that everyone should celebrate their unique personalities and walk their own walk and hopes to continue inspiring the world in little ways.
National Two Different Colored Shoes Day has been celebrated annually since 2009 and allows us to step outside the box and channel our diversity in the best ways.
