I wondered if my son would ever learn how to tie his shoes when his classmates started tying their own shoes earlier this year. Then, it just happened yesterday morning. When we were about to leave the house, instead of my usual frantic race to tie his shoes, he just told me he did it. Another right of passage come and gone just like that. About a year ago, I've asked moms with older kids when their children started putting on their own socks and shoes and they told me that they honestly don't remember because it happens so fast. Of course, I sat there thinking when will it "happen so fast" to me, but now I know what they mean.
As for our old worn out sneakers, instead of throwing them out, we bring them to Nike stores and donate them in the collection bins that is part of the Nike Reuse a Shoe program. The shoes don't even have to be old Nike sneakers, they can be any sneakers. They process the shoes and use the materials for playgrounds or new apparel.
