I recycle my running shoes into all-purpose walking around shoes and then into something like household slippers before abandoning them to the status as water shoes. By stage 3 they fit so comfortably I don't bother lacing them. By stage 4, still laceable, they are exceedingly comfortable, well-ventilated, give good protection against sharp rocks, and even function as adequate land shoes for short distances. I don't care if I ruin them cause there's always another pair in the garage. Not necessarily the solution for everyone, but it works for me.
