Walk A Mile In Her Shoes Marshalltown

The Walk a Mile in Her Shoes® event in Marshalltown is set to take place on Saturday, June 28, 2025. This unique event invites men to raise awareness about sexualized violence by literally walking a mile in women's high-heeled shoes, while women are encouraged to wear tennis shoes. Registration will begin at 10 AM at the Echo in the 13th Street District.

Founded as part of a national movement, Walk a Mile in Her Shoes® aims to engage men in discussions about gender relations and sexual violence. Participants are expected to bring their own heels, adding a playful challenge to the serious topic. The initiative has seen a growing number of supporters each year, highlighting its commitment to addressing and remediating the impacts of gender-based violence.
