I like the idea!
There is potential for more than a well deserved, pointed statement. If
the old shoes aren't in bad shape, they have value to those with fewer
shoes than we have. Maybe a bit of organizing beforehand could turn this
into a national movement with the eventual intention that the shoes be
turned over to some philanthropic groups for distribution to those who
need them.
