Second-hand shoes & footwear in Toronto typically sells for C$8 to C$225 (about $5 to $160). Colourways made only once keep their money long after the common ones have settled down, while a model still on sale new sets a ceiling the used pair will not pass. Very large and very small fittings go for more simply because far fewer were ever made.

Buying shoes & footwear in Toronto
Toronto is Canada’s largest city and its most expensive, and the condo boom of the last two decades means an enormous share of the population lives in a small apartment.
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 Toronto
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.
Most small handovers happen near a subway or GO station because driving downtown and finding anywhere to stop is genuinely difficult. For condo collections, the building will usually require the service lift to be booked in advance.
Selling your shoes & footwear in Toronto free
Rental turnover is high and newcomers to Canada arrive here in greater numbers than anywhere else, so households are constantly being furnished from scratch and cleared out again. Supply is steady rather than seasonal.
Photograph the soles as well as the uppers, because that is the first thing a buyer asks for and the request costs you a day if it is missing. Say whether the original box is included and let the buyer try them on when they arrive. Boots move from the first cold week; trainers and lighter shoes move steadily all year.
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.
