One question: when ON offers me to rent shoes for three months, then send them back to recycling process and receive new shoes. What are the new shoes made of, when you say that new shoes cannot be made out of the recycled ones? It seems to me that new shoes are always made of new plastics, aren’t they? When so, than this would mean to me that ON tries to shorten the lifespan of a shoe to generate more shoes. This is paradox!
My old runners become sneakers for another two or three years. When I buy higher tier shoes I will most likely donate them to organizations like Red Cross, Salvation Army etc who have a great system for 2nd hand sporting equipment in my country.
When my running shoes are done as running’s shoes I use them as walking shoes, or when I should do some work indoors. Use to wash the in machine so they get cleaner. When they not are good enough to use as walking shoes , I cut off the shoe tongue and use them as slip in shoes when I walk to/from the sea/lake in my wetsuit before and after swim . Very useful for that. I also use them in the same way walking with my Tri bicycle to the asfalt road ,400 m and then I actually leave my shoes next to the road when I bicycle. I got my bicycle shoes ready on the bike. Hopefully my shoes still are in the same place when I return from my bicycle ride. // Marie-Louise
If you are an REI member in the US and your shoes aren't falling apart, you can clean them up and sell them back to REI for like $20 and they will sell them secondhand to somebody else.
I picked up running in November. Now, after a few months, I'm buying my first running shoes and I'm devastated by the information that I should get new shoes so often. Even for such an amateur like me that would mean a new pair every half a year. For some people that would be new shoes every 2-3 months. That's insane! What a waste of resources and money! And I thought that running was a cheap sport...
If running is your “thing”, then it’s all relative. Once you start doing anything on a regular basis and get good at it, the price of admission is just about the same for everyone. In triathlon, when faced with a purchase decision, I usually say “buy once, cry once 💰 😢. But when it comes to running shoes, I know people who spend 4-5 times as much per year on cigarettes and cigars and lattes vs spending up $800 a year on high quality running shoes. If you split them up between the types of runs you do, they will all last longer than just buying one pair 4-5 times a year.
It would be interesting to know if there is any difference in recycle-ability between your conventional running shoe and some of the more eco-friendly shoes coming out (I'm thinking things like the Allbirds shoes, or Zen Running Club).
Japan has a strange ‘market’ for used dilapidated sneakers, believe it or not. The more rotten the shoes, the more it’s sought after me the more expensive it is.
I've stopped using clothes until they're worn out, so that somebody else will get some use from them. Good point about the next person needing to deal with the waste once he/she is finished with them, but he/she would have to do that anyway. Interesting video.
When I started running in the 1980s, running shoes were supposed to have a life of "about 1000 miles", ten years ago it was 500 miles. Now, it's 500km. Apparently it's down to US to recycle our shoes? How about designing shoes with an adequate lifespan, rather than blaming us for them expiring?
Doing so would ruin ON and other „Shoemakers“. That’s why they offer you renting shoes for 3 months. That should be the lifespan (ON says) without looking to closely on the mileage you really have. That’s how money is made 😉
Do you have any ideas as to what we can do with our old running shoes? 👟

Amazing! This is the definition of getting the most out of your shoes! 👏
I'm not going to risk injury by running in shoes that have degraded to the point they can only feasibly be used for short runs.

Cheap at first but long term body damage due to improper form well. I rather update my shoes than get a knee operation in the future
Who said that running is a cheap sport? 😳🤔🤷🏻♂️

Only landfills here in Mongolia. Would be cool if the brand would take back the show after use and do something with it.
Answer is more sustainable sourced and/or more durable shoes
The shoes very helpful and comfort eyes for exercise ❤❤
Shouldn’t it be secondfoot shoes, instead of secondhand?

I go to the local homeless shelter and last time had 16 boxes of used Hoka's I dropped off. And some i keep for yard work , walking .
would be amazing if someone would come up with detachable soles -> only replace the sole rather than the entire shoe
I would love to see replaceable uppers as quite often getting some holes in them before feeling end of the soles 🤷♀️
@@malgon007 exactly! And you also get to remove uppers and put them in the wash without worrying about the the rest of the shoe
@@malgon007 yes my big toes (and thumbs) point up a bit and I go through the front of the shoe so quickly!

I use at least 6 pairs of shoes a year of all kinds. I send them to the trash. Your video is very important for us.
Having a shoe rotation reduces wear and tear, and makes them last longer
GTM shows as it provides the best
This is insane what the owner class is coming up with to make sure no working person owns anything.
And yet this idea that the plan is for us to "own nothing and be happy" is also conflated with communism. 😏
They don't even think of us as consumers anymore but as walking monthly cashflows
Like this shoes... You have told the whole details.. thanks
i throw my old shoes into the ocean
Are you being serious or joking? If you’re serious, please don’t 😢
Very sigma.
I make turtle necklaces out of the laces
Super collection for workout
When my running shoes are done as running’s shoes I use them as walking shoes, or when I should do some work indoors. Use
Beautiful exercise

If there was a way to bring the cushion of the show back to life would be great. The rest of the shoe (normally) is fine.
Good information
Agreed
