Frequently Asked Questions
What condition should the shoes be in?
We accept shoes in fair to like new condition. Shoes that are useful are good enough - they should be clean and free from major damage. Some signs of use are acceptable, but they should still be functional and have reasonable support.
How do I know if I'm in the Bay Area for pickup services?
Our pickup service is available throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, including San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose, and surrounding cities. The form will automatically detect if your ZIP code is eligible for pickup.
Do I get a receipt for tax purposes?
Yes, we'll send you an email receipt that you can use for tax deduction purposes. New Steps Project is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
What types of shoes do you accept?
We accept all types of athletic shoes including running, basketball, tennis, soccer, volleyball, cross-training, and other sports-specific footwear. We don't accept dress shoes, high heels, sandals, or boots.
