You love getting new shoes, but you have too many old ones (or so your husband says, if you’re me). Now, Nine West is teaming up with Soles4Souls to help those truly in need of footwear – and you can score a great deal in the process.

From September 9 through September 24, simply bring in a pair of gently-worn shoes into any Nine West store nationwide, and get 15% off any purchase of $75 or more in return for your good deed. All donated footwear will go directly to Soles4Souls, which assists people worldwide who are in need of shoes.
The non-profit was created by former footwear company executive Wayne Elsey after realizing the devastating impact of the 2004 tsunami that hit Southeast Asia followed by Hurricane Katrina.
“Soles4Souls’ mission is for people to use the shoes taking up space in their closets to change the world one pair at a time,” said Elsey. “Donating gently worn shoes is one of the most simplest yet profound gifts you can make, and it will greatly improve someone’s life in the most difficult of times.”
For us shoe-addicts, it’s a win-win-win: clean out your closet, donate to a worthy cause and get a discount in return.
To donate directly to Soles4Souls and for more information, visit giveshoes.org.
