    I am just doing a clean out of my locker and am wondering does anybody know a charity either here or abroad that would take and use good quality old running shoes...I must have about a dozen pairs that would have cost in the region of 150 EUR. I usually get 700 or 800 km out of them and stop using them as I'm afraid of njury.cheers

    Well meaning, but generally not a great idea to donate end-of-life shoes to someone who will want to use them for running, IMO. Sanctuary Runners tries to distribute new or nearly-new shoes.

    I use my own old shoes for walking, or general around the house, gardening, etc. Since the pandemic I can even wear them to work!
