So here is a new post from yours truly.
Consider it a proof of life. LOL.
Went home to my other place to continue tidying it up. Found some old pairs of shoes that I no longer wear. These are still wearable though. Decided to give it away to those who need it. Also got other family members and friends to donate their shoes so we had an instant shoe drive.
Happy to say that we were able to give away almost 20 pairs of shoes to those who need it.

Yup, better that these shoes are used rather than being kept in boxes.

I've been wondering it you were still around. 
That's a good way to clear out older shoes that are still good.

Just been busy.
Yup, it is a good way to clear out shoes that are still in good condition but aren't worn anymore.

Good job, I would say the majority of my shoes are pretty well worn. They would be more suitable to throw out then give away. I have done that fairly recently

Yup.
Best to throw away shoes than to keep it. It would attract some nasty critters.

That's A laudable gesture giving away used pair of shoes to those who need. You will be blessed in return for that.

I threw mine away, they just rot. Some of them are sealed in the box, not sure when I'm going to use them again.

Best that you use and wear your shoes. Otherwise, the soles will just rot.
