“Heroes” star Kristen Bell is kicking off her heels on April 8 to raise awareness for shoeless poor kids in far off lands none of us will ever know … unless an earthquake hits them and “LOST” is preempted for news coverage.

Bell, along with fellow actresses Heather Graham (From Hell) and Brittany Snow (Prom Night), are joining California-based company Tom Shoes for a one-day campaign urging people to go barefoot in an effort to show how awesome one’s toes feel when buried naked in a big fluffy bearskin rug painful it is to walk around without shoes.

Bell says:

I’m going barefoot for one day without shoes to raise awareness about the impact a simple pair of shoes can have on a child’s life. So join me on April 8. Take off your shoes and spread the word.

You know … a lot of kids in poverty-stricken countries often go pantless too. I think Bell, Graham, and Snow should stop half-assing this campaign and go for the full Monty … Monty means vagina, right?
