About this event
Walk A Mile In Her Shoes is a bold, impactful charity walk through the heart of Fort Walton Beach where men literally walk in women's shoes — red stilettos — to raise awareness about domestic violence and sexual assault. It's equal parts moving and lighthearted, bringing the community together around a cause that affects families across Okaloosa County.
Registration is $40 per walker and includes a pair of red heels and a commemorative t-shirt. All proceeds benefit Shelter House of Northwest Florida, which provides emergency shelter, counseling, and crisis intervention services to survivors and their children.
The walk kicks off at scenic Ferry Park along the Fort Walton Beach waterfront. Spectators and supporters of all ages are welcome to cheer on the walkers, and many local businesses sponsor the event with matching donations. Come out to show your support and take part in one of the Gulf Coast's most memorable community traditions.
