Boots, Slippers and Smelly Shoes

Pick the type of shoe

Everyday footwear covers a lot of ground. Trainers feel casual and sporty, boots feel sturdy and sometimes dramatic, and flats or sandals sit somewhere else again. Deciding on a type first makes your search faster and your messages clearer. Think about colour and brand too, since some pairs are easier to find than others.

Worn trainers

Worn trainers show their story in the sole, the laces and the inside. Ask the seller how long they have been worn and for what. Wear times are chosen by each seller, so look for a listing that matches what you want. Close up photos of the insole are well worth requesting.

Used boots

Used boots can range from ankle boots to tall leather styles. Ask about the material and how often they have been worn. Photos from several angles help you judge the condition, and sellers will often add more if you ask. A pair of boots can look quite different after a season of wear, so ask how long that has been.

Smelly shoes

Some buyers look for smelly shoes, and sellers are open about what they offer. Be direct about what you would like, and respect the answer. Each seller sets their own limits, and a polite message works better than a demanding one.

Well worn or lightly worn

A pair with a lot of wear looks different from one worn a few times. Check the description and ask if the pair is lightly worn or very well used. Sellers post the pair themselves, so they can tell you plainly. Do not be shy about asking for another photo, as a clear picture settles most doubts.

Practical things

Postage is shown at checkout, so you can see the total before you commit. You can ask for discreet packaging, and both buyer and seller use selling names. Every seller is an ID verified adult. If anything is unclear, send a question before you buy rather than after.

Find your pair

Many creators take custom requests if nothing quite fits. When you are ready, look through worn shoes from verified sellers, or if heels are more your thing, see used heels instead.
