Idea to save money on kids clarks/startrite shoes....is this stupid or not?

[makeminealargeoneplease]

Had an idea while trying to get to sleep in the wee hours last night. I don't know if its really stupid or really good???

You've heard of bookmooch right where people send their read books to people who request their wanted books. Well what do we do with all those shoes that our kids have outgrown? We could list them online and their sizes, maybe with a picture of them. Then someone who needs that very size (once measured at one of the kids shoes shops so as to get the right size) requests it to be sent to them and has the shoes sent to them. Have I explained that ok? You would only be able to request once you have passed on a pair.

I know shoes mold to the wearers feet somewhat but surely secondhand must be better than cheaper brands or shoes that are too small. I know my little ones shoes are worn pretty sparingly and seems a shame to throw them away when they have lots of life left in them and are in good nick.

Your thoughts please? Do you think this would work or is it a rubbish idea?

Solo - see earlier post explaining an idea to get around the first requestor problem, Soupdragon asked the same question.
Scoutfinch, a) you would only be paying postage on the pair you are sending to someone. b) You would have gone to Clarkes/Startrite and obtained the correct shoe size after being sized up by an expert. It is highly unlikely, therefore, by using this size that you would get a pair that doesn't fit as these sizes are quite particular (length and width). c)In the event of this unlikelihood happening however, you could just list them again, and gain yourself another point to spend on an other pair/item of clothing.

It's like Cinderella

Anyone got any Geox trainers in a 7.5?

i've got so many stacked up here, even just playing trainers, as they are not pristine but the'r adidas, cica, etc...
