    I love Becky Bones

    The website is good. It has Becky Bone's story of how she became who she was and the name Becky Bones may sound wierd at first but if you read the story it makes ALOT more sense. I bought the sneakers and they are pricey. $65.00 for sneakers but 25% went to planting trees. They look nice too. I love the Becky Bones company. It's by Osiris Girls. And they make NICE sneakers.
