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.
