HISTORY
National Two Different Colored Shoes Day was created by Dr. Arlene Kaiser. Kaiser created this day to recognize and celebrate human diversity. According to Kaiser, “The simple act of wearing two different colored shoes proclaims your individuality. By taking this ‘positive risk,’ you can demonstrate your willingness to be different, and show your appreciation for the unique people in your life”.
Could you imagine how boring the world would be if everyone was homogenous? Just row after row of the same houses, the same clothes, the same people, the same religions and philosophies everywhere you go? Neither could Dr. Kaiser, at least not without cringing. As a small demonstration of her love of differences, she started wearing two different colored shoes two or three times a week.
A simple demonstration, perhaps. But it got people talking, and talking led to awareness, and awareness led to celebration and the creation of this most excellent of holidays! Dr. Arlene Kaiser is a huge proponent of education, and has taught more than 4000 students in her time, showing through doing. “Walking her talk” is central to her philosophy and her approach to the world at large.
She encourages people to be who they are, not to concern themselves with being what society tells them they should be. Diversification and walking your own walk are central to her philosophies, and she hopes to inspire the world in little ways every day.
