Olympic International proves that well-made trainers and sports shoes don’t need to bankrupt you straight off the starting blocks. We recommend you give this brand a good review when deciding on a shoe for your fitness odyssey. And, now that you know an affordable pair of new sports shoes are easy to come by, why not donate your old pair of sports shoes to someone in need? In 2019, Olympic International will place collection bins at various running and sports events around the country, encouraging active types to give someone else the opportunity to get active and enjoy their favourite discipline. All you need to do is bring your used sports shoes and other equipment or gear to the event and drop them in the Olympic International bins provided. The shoes and gear will then be distributed to needy children and adult charity organisations.

Says Fahiem Frizlar, Marketing Manager at Bolton Footwear; “as a runner, I’ve often wondered what to do with my old pair, as it’s still in relatively good condition, but not suitable for long distance running. Instead of them collecting dust or being thrown out, they can be put to excellent use by someone else.”
