Second-hand shoes & footwear in Montreal typically sells for C$8 to C$225 (about $5 to $160). Colourways made only once keep their money long after the common ones have settled down, while a model still on sale new sets a ceiling the used pair will not pass. Very large and very small fittings go for more simply because far fewer were ever made.

Buying shoes & footwear in Montreal
Montreal has the most distinctive moving culture in the country: a very large share of leases end on the same day at the start of July, and for about a week the entire city changes address at once. The second-hand market is built around that single date.
Sizing is not consistent between makers, and a nine from one is a noticeably different shape from a nine by another. Walking a few steps on a hard floor settles in moments what no measurement chart can settle at all.
What to check in person
Put both on rather than just one. Feet are rarely an identical pair, and something that suits the left can pinch the right, which is very often the real reason it is being sold. Look along the toe for deep creasing, because that never comes out.
Collecting it in Montreal
It fits in a bag, so most people meet on the way to something else. A station or a high street works, and neither side needs a car.
The outdoor staircases that front so many buildings here are narrow, steep and often spiral, and they defeat more furniture than anything else. Establish the stairs before the price, and remember that winter makes all of it considerably harder.
Selling your shoes & footwear in Montreal free
The July moving week produces a concentration of second-hand furniture that has no real equivalent elsewhere in Canada. Prices in the days either side of it are the lowest of the year, and the choice is at its widest.
Clean them up before the photographs, since scuffed leather comes out far worse on a camera than it looks in the hand. Quote the marking printed inside rather than converting it, and state how many times the pair has genuinely been worn. Boots move from the first cold week; trainers and lighter shoes move steadily all year.
Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.
