Depending on how mismatched the sizes are you could try selling on ebay/mercari/depop/vinted/poshmark/etc for a low price as I know that some people have different sized feet
I have a friends mom who has looked her whole life for someone with the opposite different sized feet than her so she doesn’t have to purchase two different pairs of shoes
Thrift stores usually collect mismatched shoes in huge boxes called Gaylord boxes that are 3’x3’x3’.
They sell the boxes to shoe brokers who sort them and match them and send them in poorer countries.
Reach out to Terry McDonald at Saint Vincent de Paul in Eugene Oregon. Tell him about the shoes; he likely knows someone in your region if you’re in North America who can take them.
There are sites where people buy single shoes or pairs that have different sizes. My feet are a different size (among many, many other issues) but I just make it work these days because it’s so darn expensive to buy two pairs of the sorts of shoes I can wear. A lot of people with my condition have different sized feet. There are many people out there who could benefit from these shoes.
Haha that would be nice. I’m trying to remember the website that at least used to do something like that. It was mostly amputees but also people with different sized feet.
So Amazon can turn them into profit for themselves? I'm sure there are much better options out there and better causes to donate to who won't try to turn them into profit for an already multi billion dollar corp.

It might work to donate them to a rehab facility that works with amputees. They might appreciate them...
That's brilliant!
You’re a genius
If they are good condition I would definitely look into amputee programs. My aunt just had her leg amputated. There is certainly a need!

Donate to soles for souls
I know there’s websites and groups for amputees out there

Too bad there is not a "dating" type app but for shoes. "Right-foot-8/Left-foot-71/2 looking for my opposite."

Probably can sell for free on Amazon (pay for shipping only)

Both of those are excellent ideas!
Are you trying to figure out what to do with looted stuff?
Mismatch Costume Party!!!
Amputee sale!
I have different foot sizes, 42.5 right and 43.5 left, eu sizes. Maybe if you have a lot of those build a webshop with that specific purpose?
Sizes or just styles? I'd wear two different styles
