Many people face this kind of problem. After cleaning up the closet and finding old black leather shoes that they no longer wear, they don't know how to deal with it. According to the survey, we have an average of 7 pairs of unused gym shoes for men per person. It's a pity to lose it. It is very contradictory to keep and take up space. Nowadays, under the background of vigorously promoting environmental protection, energy saving and avoiding waste, it is very necessary to understand how to recycle casual shoes for men.
There are many benefits to recycling old formal shoes for men. Recycling old sneakers for men, high heels or shoes that you don’t wear can reduce landfills, reduce your carbon footprint, provide shoes for the unfortunate, give new life to products that are no longer needed, and support the world’s developing countries.
Decomposition of shoes can cause serious pollution to the environment. When it is decomposed, organic shoe materials such as leather loafers for men will release methane, which will cause climate change. The reuse of old shoes can prevent soil pollution, which affects about a quarter of the world's population. In many cases, the recycling of footwear can prevent the pollution from occurring.
There are two popular ways to recycle shoes:
1. Donate old shoes to charity.
You can still use the shoe recycling bin to donate shoes instead of throwing away high-footed shoes, so the textile parts of the shoes will become more useful. Nowadays, some big-brand sportswear companies are also recycling dress sneakers for men. Through transformation, old shoes are replaced with new ones, called Reuse-a-Shoe.
2. Recycled shoes for charity
Wearable walking shoes for men in good condition can be easily resold in a charity shop or put down at a nearby charity shoe recycling station. If you want to donate old shoes, you can find some donor agencies. These charities will send your old work shoes for men to developing countries to provide shoes for the unfortunate. The charity shop will accept all types of shoes as long as they are wearable. Shoes usually take years to decompose-running shoes may take 1,000 years to decompose.
If you are not ready to throw away your old shoes, there are many ways to get them back to life, and then transform them in the following ways:
1) Put on new laces for training sneakers.
2) Stitch the patch on the canvas shoe.
3) Dye the canvas in a new color to bring a new look.
4) Use sand skin or fabric paint for decoration.
If you absolutely love those black strappy heels but look a little tired now, then we can serve you. To retouch them, you can use sequins, glitter, jewelry or add rhinestones in the following three simple steps.
1) Slide a layer of PVA glue on your shoes, and then add the selected bling.
2) Add jewelry piece by piece, because PVA glue can dry relatively quickly.
3) Dry it for about 12 hours before showing off your skills.
