It's International Podiatry Day, and LECOM is observing this, by helping their seniors. 

LECOM Health is giving one free pair of shoes to all residents of their senior living communities.

Erie News Now caught up with give away this morning at the Parkside Regency at South Shore.

Dr. Lin, president of the LECOM Institute for Successful Living, was personally donating the shoes on behalf of his family's shoe business, oasis footwear.

In total, about 750 residents will receive a free pair of shoes this week, across LECOM's 10 senior living communities. 

International Podiatry Day highlights the importance of foot health and emphasizes the crucial role of podiatrists, and promotes access to high quality foot care for all.
