I've now got about 6 pairs of running shoes which are no good for running anymore but still have plenty of wear in them for walking about in. They seem to be made of the same stuff as Captain Scarlet. Any suggestion as to what to do with them (nothing rude, please)? It breaks my heart to just chuck them out.

They are great for putting pot plants in. Fancy nice colourful pansies.They really make a fun and groovy display outside. To stop the shoe rotting stick a stopper under the front of the shoe so not on the ground all the time. I have also done this with old boots. Look really great.

or send them to a jumble sale, but that seems a bit more heartless.

seriously though I give mine to a charity shop who presume put them in a big shoe bin.
Fantastic idea! Like it a lot!
(apparently I promised Mrs D I'd turf out old shoes when I got the new ones.)
I like to leave them under the bed, indeed I tell my kids that the asics wearing octopus under the bed has a new 6-legged friend - does that mean I need one more pair?
I used to relegate old pairs (in the days when I had just the one) to gardening duties,but there is so much gardening a man can stand.
Instead , I'm investing in a potting shed and filling it up with old shoes, each sentimentally labelled with a race history.
In time I hope to market this as a local attraction.
