Decluttering - what to do with toddler shoes?

Just that really - I am taking the opprtunity to at least start on decluttering our midden of a house as I have a few days off for starting school/moving up nursery class for our dc's. Lots of this is baby/child stuff. Our dd is 4.5 and ds is almost 3. No more dc's for us so I have sent :
bagfuls of vests to ds nursery
huge box of nice girls things to post to my friend with an 18m old girl
3 huge bags of baby clothes and boys' things, baby botttles, toys etc to take to local women's refuge
quite a large amount of dc's things to eBay - Gap, Next, Boden etc and will pass this on to above places if doesn't sell (free listing all week!!!)
loads of my new or hardly worn clothes to eBay too, which I will never fit into again
Masses of books for school autumn fayre or charity shop

Just not sure what to do with childrens' shoes - I have kept the dc's first pair each as keepsakes - was thinking either for womens' refuge bag or does anyone know a third world charity that accepts them?

Ta.
Need a lie down now after all that bagging up!

Will they go into a clothes bank e.g. Salvation Army? We have banks at our local supermarkets? Or I'm sure that charity shops will accept them.

If you want to earn a few pennies for them, they tend to sell pretty well on Ebay or Gumtree (especially 'makes' or Clarks shoes), or at car boot sale. You could even sell them in bundles eg 5 pairs girls' shoes up to size x

Thanks Jenduck. Yes, they are all Clarks or Start-Rite shoes in godd condition, so I may try eBay first then charity if they don't sell Smile
