We accept all types of footwear, regardless of size and style because every shoe has the potential to protect a child’s feet, help someone get to work, or simply restore someone’s confidence. New or gently used, your donation becomes more than just footwear; it becomes a path forward for someone in need.

Every pair of shoes you donate has the power to change a life.

Your donation supports two powerful missions:

Locally, we organize community events throughout New York City where we provide clean, quality footwear directly to people in need through connections with local nonprofits. Whether it’s through our trade-in events, where people exchange old shoes for new, or our direct distributions, your donation ensures dignity, comfort, and protection for those in need.

Globally, we partner with Soles4Souls, a renowned nonprofit that delivers shoes to underserved communities around the world. We don't just ship them, we personally travel to help distribute your donated footwear to families who often walk barefoot for miles. In many of these regions, a single pair of shoes can mean access to education, safety from infection, and a newfound sense of hope.

You’re not just giving shoes; you’re giving opportunity, safety, and dignity.
