Get ready to slip on your favorite red shoes and strut your stuff on International Red Shoe Day on July 25! This fun holiday was created in 2015 by the Red Shoe Movement, a global initiative that promotes gender equality and women's empowerment in the workplace. The red shoe symbolizes confidence, power, and boldness – all qualities that we should embrace every day. So let's celebrate this day by rocking our red shoes with pride and supporting each other in breaking barriers and achieving success.
