WHY BUY FROM PEGGY SHOES
WHEN IT COMES TO SECONDHAND SHOPPING AT PEGGY SHOES, WE DO HAVE IMPORTANT REASONS WE ARE CONTRIBUTING IN OUR EVERYDAY OPERATIONS TO CREATE CONSCIENCE IN OUR ENVIRONMENT AND SUPPORTING SPECIAL PROGRAMS THAT INCLUDES INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES.
FIRST REASON (ENVIROMENT)
While many brands have worked to eliminate toxic chemicals and incorporate eco-friendly materials in the production process, recycling shoes is still one of the most effective ways to limit harmful carbon emissions in the air and waste in landfills.
SECOND REASON (SUPPORT SPECIAL COMMUNITIES)
Every single dollar you spend on PEGGY SHOES help many foundations and companies who includes individuals with disabilities, people with limited work history, those who have experienced corporate downsizing and recipients of government support programs. Special Programs with determined services are designed to meet the training and placement needs of the individual.
THIRD REASON (CHEAP PRICES FOR YOU ON HIGH DESIGNER BRANDS)
Pre-owned shoes are often priced significantly lower than brand new styles, even with little to no wear. Most people often buy a pair, only to discover they do not fit quite right or are uncomfortable with no use or to be a garbage disposal item.
If we re-use and recycle It is great for the Environment. we consider that we are producing 150 billion garments of clothing per year, that is approximately 53 million tons of textiles and 78 percent of this is discarded.
FOURTH REASON (SANITIZED SHOES)
Health risks associated with wearing used shoes are low according to California-based podiatrist Dr. Diane Koshimune, most shoppers have little reason to be concerned about their health being affected in doing so. “The safety of wearing used shoes should be considered carefully in high-risk patients who are immunocompromised [or have a reduced ability to fight off infections],” said Koshimune. “However, gently used shoes that have been properly cleaned and deodorized should not negatively impact the foot health of a new owner.” In some cases, pre-wear can actually help with the normal break in process. This happens when the leather is stretched and worn in areas that typically cause pressure — particularly on the sides of the toes.
