Every year, millions of shoes clog America’s landfills. It’s a waste—of materials, space, and potential. At ShoesNext, we’re here to flip that script. Our shoes trade-in program turns your old kicks into something worth more: a discount for you, a step forward for kids in Africa. Here’s how we’re making it happen.
The Problem: Too Many Shoes, Too Much Waste
Walk any street, peek in any closet—shoes are everywhere. North Americans own 20 pairs on average, yet toss out millions yearly. That’s landfills stuffed with soles that could’ve walked more miles. We saw a problem begging for a fix: waste piling up while kids in Africa go barefoot.
Our Fix: Trade In, Transform
ShoesNext isn’t just about selling shoes—it’s about rewriting their story. Here’s the deal: trade in your old pair, and we’ll give you $30 off our $109 shoes, dropping them to $79. You cover the $5-$10 shipping to send them our way—it’s a small price for a big shift. We clean them up, ship them to Africa, and kids get shoes to walk to school. Since 2025, over 1,500 pairs have made that trip.
Why It Works
This isn’t a gimmick. Your trade-ins fuel real change. Our NGO partners, like Shoes4Africa, get those shoes to communities in need. Meanwhile, you score eco-friendly sneakers that tread lighter on the planet. It’s sustainable living, one step at a time—less waste here, more worth there.
Beyond the Landfill
Imagine this: a sneaker you’ve outgrown dodging the dump. Instead, it’s scrubbed, packed, and shipped across the ocean. A kid in Kenya slips it on, grinning ear to ear. That’s not just a shoe—it’s a chance. And for you? A fresh pair arrives in 7-10 days, guilt-free and green.
Your Move
Your closet’s got potential. That old pair? It’s not trash—it’s a ticket to $79 shoes and a better world. Dig it out, trade it in, and join us. Visit our Trade-In Page (insert-link-here) to start—ship your shoes, save $30, and turn waste into worth. Every step counts.
