I have several pairs of old running shoes gathering dust in my closet, because I am hesitant to just throw them away in the trash.

Years ago, I read something about one of the shoe manufacturing companies having some shoe recycling program, so I’m hoping that it caught on - but I can’t find anything like that anywhere today.

What do you guys do with your old, worn-down running shoes?

    I would check if your local running store does anything. Mine has a program to repurpose old shoes.

    It depends on what shape they’re in when they don’t support my arches any more. If they don’t have holes or rips, I wash them and give them to charity. If they are wrecked, I burn them with our other trash.
