Used COS shoes and footwear typically sell for $11 to $148 (about £8 to £110) 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 COS shoes and footwear
COS footwear follows the label’s architectural approach with sculptural heels and blocky soles, sized in European numbers. The shape is the product, so the silhouette carries the listing rather than any model name.
- Sculptural leather boots and heels are the draw here, chosen on the silhouette
- Flats and sandals turn over quietly at lower prices and rest on the sole condition
- With no external branding and no model names, photographs have to carry the shape from several angles
What to check before you buy
Photograph the shoe from the side and the back so the heel shape reads properly, and check the sole unit bond, which is what fails on a heavy blocky sole.
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 $79 COS pair, a marketplace charging 20% takes $16, one charging 13.6% takes $11 and one charging 10% takes $8. WishThrift charges neither side, so you keep the whole $79.
Listing your COS 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
How should sculptural footwear be photographed?
From the side and the back rather than the front, because the heel and the profile are what the buyer is choosing. A straight-on photograph of a distinctive shoe hides the reason someone wants it.
What fails on a heavy soled shoe?
The bond between the sole unit and the upper, usually at the toe or the heel, because the weight works against the join. Flex the shoe and look for any gap opening up.
