Want £5 off* new shoes? Of course you do! Look out for our Sell Your Soles initiative in all schuh stores, or Too Big For Your Boots in all schuh Kids stores.

Bring your pre-loved shoes to any schuh or schuh Kids store and we’ll recycle them. Remember, they don’t even need to be from schuh. In return, we’ll give you £5 off* a brand new pair of shoes. You can then redeem the voucher in store or online, whatever works for you. 

We are unable to accept any shoes that have been damaged, such as soles, buttons and zips intentionally or unintentionally removed, torn and ripped beyond repair, burnt, soaked, mouldy, damp, wet or contaminated and soiled in liquids such as rain water, paint and oils or are presented in a condition where collection and processing represents risks to Health and Safety or could contaminate otherwise acceptable materials.

We are proud to continue these initiatives with our new footwear recycling partner, Got Sneakers as part of our on-going commitment to sustainability.

Got Sneakers collects all of our donated footwear from every schuh store. It’s then delivered to their Liverpool depot, where it goes through an intensive sorting and cleaning process. Selected casual and sports styles are then sold online in the UK, EU and US through their Sneaker Cycle ebay and Shopify stores, with different channels for fashion footwear. 

Got Sneakers try to ensure 98% of all donated footwear is re-sold, with only 2% of it likely to be unusable. None of this unusable footwear is either incinerated or ends in landfill though; it’s shipped instead to Fast Feet Grinded (FFG) in the Netherlands, where it’s ground into pellets. These have previously been used for playgrounds and sports surfaces but schuh hopes to develop programs where these pellets will be used to make recycled materials for new footwear and in-store fixtures.

For every tonne of footwear collected from stores, we use all of the generated revenue to support our sustainability partner of choice, World Land Trust. 

Our aim is to create a circular economy, through a concerted effort to make footwear much more sustainable.

Founded in 1989, World Land Trust works with local NGO partners around the world to save and protect critically threatened wildlife habitats.

Funding through WLT programmes enables WLT partners to create protected reserves and biological corridors for species while saving tropical forest and tackling climate change.

schuh is supporting WLT’s Plant a Tree programme, which funds WLT’s local conservation partners to reforest areas that have been lost in the past and reconnect fragmented habitat for wildlife.
