Second-hand shoes & footwear in Kingston typically sells for C$8 to C$225 (about $5 to $160). Brand and size do most of the work, and the extremes of the size range often sell for more because fewer people are competing for them. Anything that can be resoled holds value because the buyer knows it has another life in it.
Buying shoes & footwear in Kingston

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.
