During our years of shoe collection, our environmental focus was mainly locally and focused on keeping shoes out of the local landfills.
Do you ever wonder what happens to your shoes when you throw them in the trash? Of course you know they go to the landfill. But do you realize how long they will be in the landfill?
For a Rubber Boot sole, it takes 50-80 years to decompose.
For an all-natural leather shoe, it takes 25-40 years to decompose.
Let's keep our shoes out of the landfills and find a new purpose for them!!! Please donate your shoes instead of throwing them away!
