I found this article on Runner's World website and I wanted to pass it along. The link will take you to are several different organizations who will take your old athletic shoes. What a great way to give your old shoes a new life! Not to mention that donating your old shoes will help you feel not as guilty when purchasing the new pair that cost over $100. (I can just about justify anything!) Let me share a few of my favorite organizations.
Soles4Souls is located in Franklin, TN. They donate shoes to people in need after a natural disaster.
Nike Reuse-A-Shoe grinds up the rubber on your old shoes to make playgrounds safer for kids.
The Shoe Bank accepts donations of children's shoes.
Of course if none of these charities spark your interest there is always Goodwill.
