Fleet Feet West Hartford loves our partnership with Sneakers4Good. They make it so easy with pre-paid shipping bags - and they send their checks fast too. We've been able to donate over $2,500 to our favorite local charities which makes them grateful too!

They are a great partner. They're well organized and very responsive. Been a partner since 2018 and look forward to continuing our win-win relationship enabling us to give back to our local community as well as assisting them in lifting up less fortunate foreign economies through entrepreneurship.

My husband and I own a small running specialty store in central Texas. We were excited when we discovered Sneakers4Good because we wanted to provide a way for our customers and running family to recycle their shoes. This program has been great for us and we've had lots of positive feedback from the community. So far I think we've been able to recycle almost 500 lb of shoes!

What an incredible experience with Sneakers4Good! IMy kits arrived quickly and I am collecting sneakers to return. I am thrilled with this organization!

We love working with SneakersGood, not only do they make collection and mailing the shoes extremely easy, the shoes go to a great cause and most importantly, keep them out of the landfill!
Isaac Milkey
We had been working with Sneakers4Good for a few years and over the summer received an email saying how our program was ending. We understood and removed the collection boxes from our gym and thought that was the end of it. Our members had other plans. We had become such a known spot for shoe collection that one of our members brought in a giant box and started collecting shoes again. So, we are back in the shoe-collection "biz"! Our members really loved the program and the knowledge what we were saving sneakers from a landfill really resonated with them and us!
