Second-hand shoes & footwear in Saint John 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 Saint John
Saint John is an industrial port on a bay with the highest tides in the world, dominated by a refinery and shipping, with a preserved nineteenth-century core that survived the city’s decline. Fog here is a defining feature of the summer rather than an occasional inconvenience.
Posting footwear costs more than most sellers expect, and a wrong fit turns into a return that leaves both sides out of pocket. Handing a pair over face to face removes that risk completely, which is why so much of this trade stays close to home.
What to check in person
Lift the insole out if it comes away. A replacement often hides how far the footbed underneath has collapsed, and the lining at the back wears through well before anything outside gives it away. Press the toe box and watch whether it springs back.
Collecting it in Saint John
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 uptown core is compact and hilly with limited parking, so confirm access for anything large. The city is spread around the harbour, so agree which side rather than assuming a short trip.

Industrial shift work runs on its own cycle and the older housing stock turns over with old contents. Damp and fog mean storage conditions matter more here than in most of the country.
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.
