Equal for All, a socially concious shoe company, is of the Kickstarter generation. The team has so fair raised 116% of its Kickstarter goal, which started at $15,000 (as of publication on July 5, 2013). There are 14 days left in the campaign so they will likely go over. If you're interested in Kickstarter funds as they relate to social entrepreneurship, the pledge category that was the most popular was the $130, where the pledger would receive a pair of shoes -- and a personal phone call.
Based in Paris, France, Equal for All's shoes are produced in Portugal with attention to fair labor and manufacturing practices. What is more, the first social project will be teaching children in underserved communities in Paris about graphic design and street art.
