Appalachian Trials really is the BuzzFeed of long distance hiking. This article is especially clickbaity. Sensationalized title, very short article and only one real solution (donate to Nike). No one's shoes are going to be lightly used after a thru-hike.
Send them to Mountain Crossings for their shoe collection. I did that with one of my pairs. I got to see them in 2013 when I was sending my buddy off on his thru.
Put them in a trophy case.
Plant flowers in them.
Mail them to a sworn enemy.
Hiker box.
Badger learned well from Buzzfeed in that regard. Let the others do the work for him!
Though I wish I'd kept my last pair to mail to my sworn enemy. Obviously next time...
"Mail them to a sworn enemy" I like that idea
