Save Our Soles Initiative

Across Australia, the disposal of pre-loved shoes, via incineration or landfill, continues to represent a major environmental concern; as well as being a significant waste of reclaimable materials. As a result, Converse has partnered with the Australian Sporting Goods Association (ASGA) and Save Our Soles (SOS) to provide a new circular shoe recycling and repurposing program where you can donate your old shoes to be recycled.

Our Process

Collect

Pre-loved shoes are collected from our Victorian Flagship and Outlet stores to be processed.

Recycle

Our partner Save Our Soles recycles the reusable components.

Reuse

The results are brand new gym and playground surfaces.
