Crocs and Outside Magazine have worked together to bring you Inspiring Soles – a program that celebrates athletes who have dedicated their lives to shattering boundaries and raising awareness to meaningful causes. Many great athletes have been a part of the program – from Ray Zahab and his Antarctic world record to inspiration people like Sean Swarmer, the first cancer survivor to climb Mt. Everest.

We asked to find out if you knew someone for our first ever Inspiring Sole Award and you came up with some great people. We had the tough task of narrowing it down to five semi-finalists and you had the tougher task of picking the winner – which we’ll announce on March 18th. Until then, take a look at the Inspiring Sole Semi-Finalists are:
