Second-hand shoes & footwear in Brisbane typically sells for A$8 to A$230 (about $5 to $160). Condition below the ankle counts for more than condition above it, since an upper can be cleaned up and a worn-through sole cannot be undone. A box, spare laces or a dust bag lift the figure more than they ought to, purely as evidence of how it was kept.

Buying shoes & footwear in Brisbane
Brisbane is subtropical, and that genuinely determines what survives second hand here. Humidity is hard on anything upholstered, wooden or electronic that has been stored badly, and buyers who have lived here a while will ask where an item was kept before they ask anything else.
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
Turn them over first. The sole and the heel tip tell you how much life is left, and the inside of the heel counter shows how the last owner walked. Bend the shoe gently to check the sole is not separating from the upper.
Collecting it in Brisbane
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 river cuts the city in half and there are only so many crossings, so which side someone is on matters more than the distance on a map. Most people arrange collection rather than posting, and utes are common enough that furniture moves easily.
Selling your shoes & footwear in Brisbane free
The city has grown quickly through interstate migration, and people arriving from Sydney and Melbourne routinely sell up rather than freight everything north. That produces a steady supply of good furniture at sensible prices.
Measure the insole end to end in centimetres and put the figure in your listing, which answers most fitting questions before anybody asks them. Be plain about what is worn: people forgive a scuff they were warned about and walk away from one they were not. Boots move from the first cold week; trainers and lighter shoes move steadily all year.
Bank transfer via PayID is instant and is what most private buyers will offer. Cash on collection remains common for larger items.
