Operation Shoe Fly Update

OSF

Here is the address where you can send children's shoes for distribution to needy children in Afghanistan as I wrote about here and here.

UPDATE: I sent off some shoes to Sgt Hook today. Everything went off amazingly smooth. WalMart had children's shoes for $5 a pair. Even better they had hard-soled leather boots in children's sizes 7-13. I picked up 20 pairs. Then I was pleased to discover that these 20 boxes of shoes exactly fit the box I was going to ship them in...and I mean exactly. Shipping wasn't too bad either -- coming to about $30 for parcel post.

So, I found exactly the right kind of shoes, at exactly the right price, shipping was easy and fairly cheap -- and all in all everything went very well.

I feel good. Now it is your turn.
