Life & the amazing gifts it shares. Gary, I don’t know his last name gave me a bid on refurbishing a vintage iron sink from our Share Your Soles Foundation building. Its been around and abused for ages. After learning about our mission and talking with me he took the job. Today he finished and donated his service, time, materials and talent. WHY? Gary is sn ex con. He did hard time and is now setting up to “teach” his trade to others who traveled down the wrong path when they were young like he did.
True definition of “giving back”.
I like Gary and hope he and I can become friends. We are grateful and appreciative to know this guy! Gary is his name! 🙏🙏🙏

When it comes to extreme poverty on Native American reservations, the American government plays a heavy role. The Indian Removal Act forced Native Americans west in 1830. It divided tribes onto reservations out West, which contained very poor land and mandated rationed resources from the government. As a result, many Native Americans plunged into poverty almost instantly.
Share Your Share Your Soles Foundation is raising funds to ship much needed warm winter boots to this community. Please consider making a financial donation to support this cause. Today. We ship in the next couple of weeks 🙏🙏🙏

Jackson who is a 15 year old amazing young man brought in 150 pairs of shoes he collected for the less fortunate. This is his third year contributing. Most kids do a service project because they need service hours to graduate. His parents raised him with good values, morals and compassion. I asked him what motivated him to keep it going. His response “because it is the right thing to do”.
Bravo Jackson from Frankfurt, Illinois. 🙏🥰

The Shoe Said Project is an official partner of the Christie Clinic Illinois Marathon, where we have collected over 1,000 pairs of gently used shoes since 2016. Every pair of shoes has a story of their own…. our hope is to inspire the next story for the person whose life will be impacted by receiving a much-needed pair of shoes. Through The Shoe Said Project we get to change the lives of women and children around the world. http://bit.ly/ShoeSaidProject We are so excited to partner with Share Your Soles Foundation in this endeavor!
Thank you to our partners University Community Service Center (UChicago), University of Chicago Laboratory Schools, University of Chicago Charter School, and all who participated in today's MLK Day of Service!

As a retailer, we have no problem in admitting we aren’t perfect in reducing our carbon footprint but we try to lead by example. From the small things such as recycling paper and cardboard in our stores, to replacing our plastic kitchenware, to switching to compostable cups at our Fleet Feet Hydration Stations on the lakefront. Our biggest effort came in 2000, when Fleet Feet became one of Share Your Soles’ first drop zones.
We stopped by the Share Your Soles warehouse, which is apart of the Historic Pullman District. We talked to Mona about how she relies on all of her relationships such as her sponsorship with American Airlines to make a bigger impact on communities.
Currently, Mona is organizing her efforts to help with the Hurricane Dorian disaster relief in The Bahamas. We accept gently used shoe donations at all of our Fleet Feet Chicago locations.
