Can't keep them, can't throw them away: old shoes--?

Nicely grained pumps, in several colors, that I’ll never wear again. Actually I never wore them all that much when I was still wearing heels. But now I’m not risking my aging ankles or knees on a little bit of frivolous vanity. I wear flats to the opera.

Not good enough to sell: they’re old, out of style, and the insoles are no longer snug.

But they’re good quality, solid, decent, and adequately handsome. How can I just dump them in the trash?

Women who have to go to shelters and use resources that take clothing donations are not looking for heels to wear to banquets and the theatre, any more than they need the champagne glasses and pink linen tablecloths and napkins that I’ve seen there. They need warm hooded jackets and sturdy shoes, practical things, not fancy dress.

I have unearthed at least seven pairs (along with a pair of gold sneakers that I will certainly keep!). What shall I do with them?
