Give, Give, Give it Away: Running Shoes, Crocs, High Heeled Sneakers

by pribut on May 15, 2008

If you can’t figure out what to do with dead, old, used up and out of shape crocs, or if they make your feet hurt, give them back! Crocs has a recycling program at solesunited.com in which they recycle the shoes. They then make shoes that are manufactured with 20% recycled materials. These are then both sold and donated, with at least one new pair of shoes being donated for each of this product line purchased. See Solesunited.com

Another program, that seems to be quite good, and is a charitable organization, with a well designed website is Soles4souls .

Soles4souls operations are involved in obtaining shoes, buying new shoes, and distributing them to needy people all over the world and domestically. All shoes are accepted, from all manufacturers. I’d suggest checking their website for locations to bring them, or the address to mail them to. Shoes in reasonably good condition are probably best.
