Shood (Shoes for Good)

Shood (Shoes for a Good) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit that provides new or like-new well-fitted running shoes to economically disadvantaged communities and deliver them with dignity.  Since 2017, we've distributed more than 30,000 pairs of shoes valued at $1.5 million.

Shood is committed to expanding access to properly fitted shoes for underserved communities. Our goal is to double student- athlete participation by providing running shoes to more Title 1 students. We will continue to amplify our impact and raise awareness about the health benefits of well-fitting shoes, improving both physical and mental well-being.

To date, Shood has operated entirely on volunteer power with an annual budget of less than $30K. Until now, we’ve relied on minimal funding from our donors and sponsors. However, growing demand means we can no longer do our work alone. Your financial support can make a huge difference. Join us in ensuring everyone has access to well-fitted shoes, delivered with dignity.
