How to Recycle Your Old Running Shoes

Where to Recycle Old Running Shoes in Chicago

Running shoes can wear out quickly, no matter how well you care for them. Once your trusted trainers have run their last mile, that doesn’t mean they’ve reached the end of their useful life. Instead of throwing away your old running shoes, you can recycle them at Fleet Feet.

When you recycle your old running shoes at any Fleet Feet Chicago location, they’re collected and sent to Sneaker Impact. Sneaker Impact gives gently used shoes a second life by distributing them to developing countries, where they can be revived and resold at a fraction of their original cost. This helps provide affordable footwear to local communities where access to shoes may otherwise be limited.
