what do you do with your old running shoes...?  i always keep one pair of old running shoes for all for dirty jobs or walks in the rain, or for whenever there is a chance of getting the ones i wear to the gym dirty. but what am i going to do with all the other old running shoes i've found stashed in the garage?
