Recycle, Donate & Sell Old Shoes

If your shoes are in good shape consider selling them online, take them to a consignment store to sell, or selling them at a clothing store that buys used shoes and clothes to resell. Some places offer trade-in options for old shoes in good shape where you get store credit to buy a new item. If your shoes aren’t in good shape you can still recycle them with Threadcycle or some local places that accept shoe donations to convert them into new items. Threadcycle will take any type of old shoes from running shoes, dress shoes, flip flops, slippers etc. for recycling.
