Used Birkenstock shoes and footwear typically sell for $6 to $49 (about £4 to £37) depending on the pair and its condition. Used footwear sells well when the seller answers the two questions every buyer has and most listings ignore: how much life is left in the sole, and whether the upper is real leather or a synthetic. A photograph from underneath settles the first, and the material stamp inside the shoe settles the second.

Sizing and fit on Birkenstock shoes and footwear
Birkenstock prints European sizing only, with no UK or US number on the footbed, and sells each size in a regular and a narrow fitting marked by a foot symbol. The cork footbed moulds permanently to its wearer.
- The classic two-strap and single-strap sandals are the whole market here and are searched by EU size and width
- Closed styles and boots surface much more rarely than the classic sandals do
What to check before you buy
Photograph the footbed straight down. It carries the previous owner’s impression permanently, and a deeply moulded footbed suits some buyers and rules the pair out for others, so it has to be visible rather than described.
For the checks that apply to any used shoes and footwear regardless of the maker, see the guide to buying used shoes and footwear.
What you keep when you sell
On a typical $28 Birkenstock pair, a marketplace charging 20% takes $6, one charging 13.6% takes $4 and one charging 10% takes $3. WishThrift charges neither side, so you keep the whole $28.
Listing your Birkenstock shoes and footwear
- Photograph the pair from the side, from above, from underneath and inside the collar. Four honest shots outperform ten flattering ones
- Include the box if you still have it and say so in the title. On collectable styles the box is a meaningful share of what the buyer is paying for

Questions
Should I buy used Birkenstocks with a moulded footbed?
It depends how close your foot is to the previous owner’s. The cork takes a permanent impression, so a lightly worn pair suits almost anyone while a deeply moulded one will only suit a similar foot. Photograph the footbed from directly above and let the buyer judge.
