I've heard of turning lead into gold. A pumpkin into a coach. Lemons into lemonade. Shoes into water? The Shoeman, awarded a Purple Heart in Vietnam, has done that since 2008. With donated used shoes, his nonprofit organization sells them to retailers in the developing world. The profit from the sales provides fresh drinking water by helping to buy water-well drilling rigs and by building water purification systems. Shoeman Water Projects representatives will pick up your shoes (and mine) from New Balance Shoes in Overland Park, KS, as well as from many other drop-off points in the USA.
