Don't know what to do with your old running shoes? Have I got the solution for you!
Recently, I've gotten the opportunity to work with the soon to be launched
site, Kindrunner and I'm excited to tell you all about it, because THIS is what you can do with your old running shoes!
Kindrunner.com
is different from other running shoe sites for a few reasons. First,
they have the Kindness Cash Rewards program. You send them your old
running shoes (free, by the way. Their Free Three Way Shipping means you
never pay for shipping- on new shoes, old shoes or returns!) they give
you a credit to get new shoes. Credit for your old shoes- Sounds pretty
amazing, right?
And those old shoes? They end up in the hands of shoe donation
partners, including Soles 4 Souls, so that the shoes will get to those in
need. This keeps old running shoes
out of the trash and in turn, reducing the running community's impact on
the environment. Did you know, average running shoe will not even begin to break
down in a landfill for 90-100 years? Yikes! Me neither. Kindrunner also
recycles all of their packaging material, and use UPS carbon neutral
shipping just to make sure they're making their carbon footprint as small as possible.
On
top of that, the founder and employees are experts in the running shoe
world. They can help you decide what is the best option for you.
Everyone at Kindrunner has experience running races, getting injured,
coming back from
injury, and they have all fit 1000s of runners with the perfect shoes
for them. I'm totally taking them up on that now and will report back on
how it goes! The site will also offer product review videos to help
explain what each product is about.
Interested?
You should check out the video on their site right now that also gives
more insight to what it's going to be when it launches.
And they're
already holding contests! Once their facebook page gets to 500 likes,
they're giving away a pair of shoes to a follower and their running
partner (both have to be followers) Also, from now until their launch,
when you sign up for their email list, you'll automatically be entered
in their "free shoes for a year" contest- what runner doesn't want free
shoes for a year?!
Would you be interested trading in your old running shoes for new ones?
