To help celebrate the Cherry Festival, Glik’s will conduct a Style Your Sole party in conjunction with TOMS shoes.

The event will take place July 2nd during the festival, and will feature local Traverse City artists personalizing every pair of TOMS shoes purchased at Glik’s that day. Local artists will have the opportunity to share their art, add work to their portfolios, and use each pair of TOMS shoes as a blank canvas.

In addition to each customer getting the opportunity to have their TOMS shoes customized by a local artists, all pairs purchased will mean that a child in need will be giving a free pair of shoes courtesy of the TOMS One-for-One campaign. A wide variety of TOMS shoes will be available for purchase.
