Used boots in Dubai typically sell for AED 99 to AED 445 (about $27 to $120). Boots are bought on whether they can be resoled, so the useful thing to state is the construction — a welted boot has decades left in it and a cemented sole does not.
Selling boots in Dubai
Contract cycles drive everything. Departures cluster around the end of the school year, which is reliably when the most furniture and white goods come onto the market and when prices are softest for a buyer.
The city is built around the main highway spine and almost everything is collected by car, so which side of the city someone is on matters. Most residential towers and compounds require the buyer to be registered at the gate, so agree access before anyone sets off.
Ask when the seller is leaving the country. A departure date is the single most useful piece of information in this market, because it tells you how much room there is on price and how firm the deadline is.
Dubai has around 3.6 million people in Dubai, which means a buyer pool big enough that almost anything finds someone, and close enough together that collection is rarely the obstacle. Sharjah, Abu Dhabi and Al Ain are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Dubai
Bank transfer and cash on collection are both normal. Confirm funds have cleared before handing anything over.
What boots are worth
What lifts the price
- Recognised makers with resoling services available
- Original laces, box and any dust bags
What pulls it down
- Cemented soles that cannot be replaced
- Cracked leather across the flex point
Working out what yours is worth
- Look at the sole edge for a welt stitch line
- Flex the vamp and check for cracking
Getting it ready
- Clean and condition the leather. Boots respond visibly to a wipe and a coat of polish, and it costs almost nothing.
- Check the heel wear, the sole tread and the insole, and photograph the size stamp inside or on the sole.

Put in the description
- Brand, model and size with the sizing system stated
- Leather or synthetic, and whether the sole is welted or cemented
Autumn and winter are strongest, with a clear peak from September to December. Quality welted boots hold value all year; fashion boots follow the season closely.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.

Common questions
Where can I sell boots in Dubai?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. The city is built around the main highway spine and almost everything is collected by car, so which side of the city someone is on matters. Most residential towers and compounds require the buyer to be registered at the gate, so agree access before anyone sets off.
Can they be resoled?
Look for stitching around the welt and answer. Resoleable boots are worth substantially more because the buyer is purchasing decades of use, not a season.
