Red Nike running shoes, size 9, El Paso
Description
I was cooling down after a short jog yesterday around 3pm near the fountain at San Jacinto Plaza in downtown El Paso. I must have kicked them off for a moment while I stretched by a bench, and now they're gone. They are red Nike running shoes, size 9, with a white swoosh and a small blue paint speck on the left toe; the right shoe has a subtle crease across the toe cap, and the insole has 'M. Ramirez' scribbled in faded marker. They mean a lot to me because they were a gift from my sister and hold sentimental value. If you found them, please leave a note here so we can arrange a meet-up—I'd really appreciate getting them back.

How to safely get your item back
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the finder before meeting
- Ask them to describe a detail not shown in your listing, such as an engraving, scratch, or contents.
- Request a clear photo of the item from an angle you did not post.
- Do not pay any release, shipping, or storage fee.
- Do not share your full address until you have verified them.
Meet in a safe, public place
- Police stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.
- Meet during daylight hours where there is CCTV and foot traffic.
- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you
- Tell a friend or family member where you are meeting and when.
- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
- Use the in-app message thread so there is a record if something goes wrong.
- Do not move to WhatsApp, SMS, or email until you have exchanged a verifying detail.
- Never share bank details, government ID numbers, or copies of your ID.
