Sierra Club (The Green Life) Green Fitness: Recycle Shoes

26 January 2010 No Comment

Sierra Club’s The Green Life has great green tips. Check out this tip too: Green Your Sports: Eco-Friendly Running Shoes

Tip #4: Give Old Shoes New Life

Perhaps your intensifying workout program calls for shoes with more support, better fit, or smarter design. Your old kicks needn’t end up in a landfill. Organizations like Soles4Souls and One World Running donate used sneakers to those in need. Nike will transform worn-out shoes (of any brand) into Nike Grind, which is used as a surface material for basketball courts and running tracks. Looking for a local shoe recycling program? Find directories here and here.
