If you have a pair or two of old running shoes that don't see much action these days, but still have a few miles left on them, check out Recycled Runners, a Web site that offers a handful of ways to help take your old shoes off your hands without sending them to the landfill. The site has a nation-wide network of shoe-donation programs that can give your old runners a new home, so they can finish up their useful life with someone who really needs them.

If you've literally run your shoes into the ground, they also list shoe recycling programs, where companies like Nike turn old shoes into material used in sports surfaces like basketball courts, tennis courts, athletic fields, running tracks, and playgrounds for youngsters. And, if you're in the market for a new pair, shop through its partnership with Zappos.com, and it will donate 50 percent of the proceeds to its charity of the month. ::Recycled Runners
