Buying Guide

At Project Step Again, buying a pair of shoes means more than just getting something new. It means taking part in a cycle of giving, sustainability, and community. Every purchase contributes directly to helping underprivileged students receive shoes they need for school, sports, and everyday life.

Buy with Purpose

When you buy from Project Step Again, you’re not only getting quality shoes at an affordable price. You’re also supporting a cause that matters. We operate under a one-for-one model: for every pair of shoes sold, we donate one pair to a student in need. This means your purchase has immediate and measurable impact.

Our shoes are carefully selected to balance quality and affordability. You don’t need to spend hundreds of dollars to make a difference — every pair you buy helps us sustain the donation cycle, fund the cleaning and refurbishment process, and cover delivery to those who need it most.

Buying from us also helps reduce global waste. Instead of letting usable shoes end up in landfills, we collect and recondition them for a new purpose. Your choice to buy from Project Step Again means supporting both people and the planet.

Get Rewarded for Giving

We believe giving should be easy and rewarding. When you purchase a pair of shoes, you can donate your gently-used shoes to receive an additional 10% discount.

You can send your shoes to our warehouse or meet us in person to exchange, just like a marketplace trade. If you choose to ship your old shoes, your order comes with free shipping — it’s our way of saying thank you for contributing to the cause.

Before sending, we ask donors to upload a photo of their shoes so we can verify they meet our quality standards. This helps reduce unnecessary shipping costs and ensures every donation can be refurbished and safely given to a new owner.

Pricing

We keep our pricing transparent and fair.
If you donate shoes, your total price will be calculated as:

Selling Price – 10%

For example, a pair listed at $130 CAD would become $117 CAD after the 10% discount. Additionally, you get free shipping!

This simple structure ensures that both buyers and donors benefit while maintaining the resources we need to continue the donation program.

The Impact You Create

Every time you buy, you make two differences: one for yourself, and one for someone else. For you, it’s a new pair of quality shoes at a fair price. For a student somewhere in need, it’s a chance to walk confidently, to school, to practice, or simply to dream bigger.

Your purchase fuels the full cycle: from collecting, cleaning, and restoring shoes to delivering them directly to underprivileged communities.

A Simple Act, a Meaningful Step

Buying a pair from Project Step Again is not about fashion or trend, it’s about impact. It’s about realizing that something as small as a pair of shoes can change someone’s day, maybe even their future.

When you choose to buy, you’re not just stepping into a new pair. You’re stepping into someone else’s story.
