Hi all :) . As many other climbers, I'm used to buy at least two pairs of climbing shoes in a year. I've got no idea about how to properly dispose (and maybe recycle?) my old and no more resolable shoes. Could you please give me a clue? Bye :)
The Best thing you could do in my opinion is giving them to someone who is beggining at the sport (and canยดt afford buying a new one right now or hasnยดt decided if he/she will really become a climber and buy his/her own climbing stuff) or to some association that teaches incomers to the sport how to climb. Even an old and crappy unressolable climbing shoe is beter than any other thing on your foot for climbing. Especially for the begginers. In my association here in Brazil we take donations :D, the incomers use them for a few weeks and then they buy their own soon after. After that, other incomers can use it for no cost.
