Our Process
At Project Step Again, we make it easy for customers to save money, reduce waste, and create impact. Here’s how it works:
Buy with Purpose
We sell affordable, low-cost shoes.
Customers receive an extra 10% discount if they donate a pair of gently-used shoes.
Donating helps save closet space, reduces waste, and gives old shoes a second life.
Donation Verification
Donors must upload a picture of their shoes before sending them.
This step ensures the shoes are in acceptable condition and prevents wasted shipping costs if a pair is rejected.
How Pricing Works
If a customer donates a pair of shoes, their price is:
Selling price – 10%
Real Example: Way of Wade All City 12 Encore, Size 11, Pink.
Selling price: $130 CAD
Minus 10%: $117 CAD
John shipped their used shoes to us, and they received free shipping on their order.
Alternatively, we can arrange an in-person exchange, similar to Facebook Marketplace.
One for One Commitment
For every pair of shoes we sell, we donate a pair to students in need, whether or not the buyer donates shoes.
Shoes Donated >= Shoes Sold
Shoe Collection Methods
To make sure our donations match the number of shoes sold, we collect shoes through three channels:
- Discount-for-Donation – Customers donate while buying and receive a discount.
- Community Events – Collection drives at basketball competitions and other sports gatherings.
- Referrals – Friends and family help spread the word and bring in more donations.
