    I tend to keep them to sort kids toys. But seem to toss after a while. Also was savign for kids school last year to make dio-ramas. They come in handy for few things.

    We keep a few each year to use for the Shoebox gifts at Christmas. That's a charity we donate to every year.

    Keep them. I never have enough - I'm always asking my mom for shoe boxes throughout the school year

    I save a few toward the end of the year to use for Shoebox Christmas. Other than those few, I toss them.

    Our extras go to school the libaray uses them to put behind the books on the shelf to keep the books from being pushed back.

    I keep them for storage, but I almost never buy shoes so the boxes are pretty rare around here.
