Spire is a sustainable footwear solution designed for impoverished children in India that cannot afford such necessities. Spire aids in protecting the foot from injuries and exposure to soil-transmitted infections that are transmitted through exposed skin.

These diseases are transmitted through eggs from human feces and contaminated soil through the skin. STH infections lead to various diseases and worm infections of the human body. Young children, pregnant women and elderly are at highest risk.
