FAQs

  2. Shoe Revolt has sent monetary and in-kind donations to Human Trafficking 911, Grace Haven, Doors of Grace, Misssey, GEMS, Breaking Free, Veronica's Voice, and Courtney’s House. We have been in business since August 2010 and have done a lot in our short time of existence.

  3. If the seller doesn’t send you the shoes, then Shoe Revolt will refund your money back. The seller will not be allowed to sell on Shoe Revolt’s website again.

  4. The idea is to reduce the number of times an items is shipped. If a donor or seller in Arizona sends their shoes directly to a buyer in Minnesota, it saves shipping costs. Shoe Revolt believes that direct shipping between buyers and sellers is much more effective. If you send shoes to Shoe Revolt, you have to pay for shipping. Then, when someone buys the item, they will have to pay the shipping cost once again. There are also cases when an advocate wants to get involved in raising money but can't afford the shipping cost. There is no need for those shoes to sit in closets when they could be donated. Over the past year year, I have watched packages come in to Shoe Revolt and been very upset by how much donors paid for shipping. I wanted to do something about that, and thanks to Crowd Interactive (website engineers), we now have a site that fixes this problem. The more we save, the less the operational cost is, and the more money we can send to the programs who need it the most.
