I am trying to locate some used shoe recycling centers in new york city.

I think it is disgusting to think about wearing someone elses sweaty old shoes. Maybe some special fungus in there too.

However, from an environmental prespective... what a pile of waste old shoes made from all sorts of plastics and other chemical substances it is. We need to look into history and maybe move forward with wooden dutch shoes so we have an environment to look forward to!

I would never purchase anyone else's shoes. However I am sure there are some creative ways to recycle them and find a different use for the materials in them.

This viewpoint for resources, the environment aspect to say beneficial, but wear the shoe that the other people cut through to really have a little to make person hard accept

Comment #5 MrD from Murdaland -

Its a very disghusting idea.

you can recycle the shoe's material but not the shoe itself

Comment #6 Brad from San Francisco -

I bet there are lots of poor people that would be delighted to have someone's used shoes.

I hope Nancy finds that place that "recycles" I would take that to mean cleans and disinfects shoes.

I think that Nancy is looking for a place to donate instead of buy old shoes. Buy the way, if you are into that "used" shoe thing, there's tons to buy from the internet.

Hi Nancy

I agree to what most people have said about using used shoes, but still I think you should go ahead if you are not having any reservations about it. But as imaginarydivabc points out, if you are looking to donate or sell used shoes then its fine. The main thing is we are all trying to give advice to Nancy but not giving address of any such place. Just try asking some local store. Good Luck!

I wouldn't buy any used shoes either but I'm sure people can't afford shoes for their kids and themselves don't mind.
