Shoetube.tv and Soles4Souls aim to change that statistic by connecting footwear lovers with an easy way to donate their own gently worn shoes.
And what if the viewers at Shoetube.tv simply can't part with one of the many shoes in their own closets? Not a problem, says Elsey.
For every single dollar donated to the charity online a pair of shoes can be sent around the world, destined for delivery to a child in need. So you don't have to really part with those Manolo Blahniks...until next season's arrivals, of course.
