Fall has arrived and with the seasons changing so will our clothes which includes our shoes that we wear. Are you like me, do you have a bunch of shoes in your closet that you just don't wear?

I try not to be one of those people who buys clothes and shoes I won't wear but some how it happens. I have shoes that bought for a special occasion and each time I did I told myself I was sure to wear them again for other things and yet there they sit in the box unworn.

So what it the answer? You could keep them in the hopes that you eventually have another place to wear them or you could donation them right now and make a different for pets looking for forever home. Plus you will be donating shoes to people who need them.
