Stinky Old Gym Shoes

I found this on the Nike website - I have way too many gym worn shoes and now I know what to do with them all!

Concerned about the environment and committed to making a difference? Talking trash just won’t cut it – you need to take action. Recycling your athletic shoes with Nike’s Reuse-A-Shoe is a simple way to start.

How should you get involved? Sometimes the most important changes are the small ones – like bringing your athletic shoes – no matter what brand – to your nearest drop-off location, looking for recycled and sustainable materials in the products you buy and helping us spread the word about shoe recycling.

Where can you recycle your shoes? All Nike retail stores in the U.S.

No matter how you get involved, you’ll be helping the world reduce its footprint – one step at a time.

Kristyn, do they take shoes that aren't Nike? I have a bunch.

Good content. Just wanted to add some buying advice for those on a budget.

There is a huge market for sports shoes but what’s significant is the genuineness of the shoes we intend to buy. Most often we think that a pair of authentic shoes would cost us big money and so we turn to fake shoes which are available at very low prices not realizing the consequences of wearing them in the long run.

However, you will be happy to know that you can still get genuine sports shoes at cheap prices. The only thing that we require is a little bit of research to know which stores stock original stuff and offer good discounts that make genuine shoes affordable and fit our budget. So spend sometime and research online to find where you can shop around, how you can shop and when is the best time to shop.

Honey, is there a place where one can recycle little black leather shoes with two- or three-inch heels? You have a lot of those, too.

HA HA HA
