Sell Your Heels in Canada

Used heels in Canada typically sell for C$23 to C$115 (about $16 to $81). Heels are judged on the parts that touch the ground, because worn tips and scuffed heels are the first things a buyer sees.

What heels are worth in Canada

Guide ranges converted from sterling at the 2 August 2026 rate, not quotes — sellers set their own price. Grades are seller-declared; WishThrift does not inspect or verify them.

What lifts the price

• Intact heel tips with no exposed metal
• Leather soles and uppers over synthetic

What pulls it down

• Worn-through heel tips showing the metal pin
• Scuffed heel stems and toe caps

Selling heels in Canada

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.

Canada’s resale market is concentrated in a handful of metro areas separated by very long distances, which makes it unusually collection-led — most buyers are looking for something they can pick up the same week.

Canada Post, Purolator and UPS cover the country, but rates change sharply between provinces and remote postcodes carry surcharges.

Shipping cost is the single commonest reason a Canadian listing stalls. Decide collection versus courier before you price it, and say which you are offering.

Working out what yours is worth

• Look at the heel tips and note whether they need replacing
• Photograph the soles and heel stems

Getting it ready

• Check every heel tip. Worn-through tips exposing metal are both a defect and a floor hazard, and replacing them is inexpensive.
• Clean the soles and the insole. A soiled insole reads as worn far more strongly than the actual wear justifies.

Photograph

• The pair side on, standing, so the heel shape and height read clearly
• The soles and heel tips together
• The heel covering close up, plus any scuff, mark or lifting

Put in the description

• Heel height in centimetres, and heel type — stiletto, block, kitten or wedge
• Material of the upper and whether the sole is leather or synthetic
• Condition of the tips, insole and heel covering, stated separately

Brand, style and height: “Kurt Geiger Court Heels, Size 5, Black Patent” or “Block Heel Sandals, Nude, EU 38, 7cm”. Heel height in centimetres belongs in the description at least, because a buyer who cannot walk in 10cm will not buy them at any price.

Post boxed, with each shoe wrapped and the heels protected. Thin heels snap in transit when they are loose in a padded bag, so a rigid box is worth the small extra postage.

It costs nothing to list

There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the C$113 a buyer pays is the C$113 you keep. You and the buyer settle up and arrange the handover between yourselves; WishThrift does not hold the money or ship the item.

Common questions

Where can I sell heels in Canada?

List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. 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.

Do they fit true to size?

Give the insole measurement heel to toe. Court shoes especially vary between brands, and a measurement is the only answer that works for everyone.

What do buyers check on used heels?

The heel tips first. Worn tips showing metal are an immediate repair cost, though a cobbler replaces them cheaply.

Do designer heels hold value?

Better than unbranded ones, though footwear generally holds value less well than bags because wear is so visible.
