I found this information today on the very cool site INSPIRED TO ACTION. I enjoy their site and love the information that they throw out there for the blog world to grab hold of and hopefully run with!
This caught my eye today because it mentioned something about Haiti. 🙂
Soles United is an organization that takes your old Crocs and literally recycles them into new shoes and gives them away to people in needy countries. WOW! So, you don't have to send your old, worn down shoes full of holes … they send NEW shoes!

Isn’t this a great idea? I just love that they are making a conscious effort to keep their product from ending up in landfills. Plus it makes me feel a little less guilty about getting a new pair. 🙂
I love the idea of this organization it’s so great!
Thanks for supporting Inspired to action!
that is awesome. we have found that “crocs” work best at the orphanage. flip flops get trashed too quickly. i gonna make some calls…
thanks for the info! maybe we could do this for our benefit concert!!! 🙂
