I would think people wouldn't send a good shoe: a worn-out shoe bound for the trash anyway seems to me like it would be more insulting than a wearable one what with more time rubbing on the ground, and why break up a useable pair? A dilapidated shoe would also be more symbolic of peoples' financial concerns.
I'm probably wrong, unfortunately, and single shoes aren't much good for donating.
