Shoes and footwear graded Like New are worth about 85% of the same item unused, which across this category is $5 to $137 (about £3 to £102). A handful of wears. There is a faint crease at the flex point but the tread depth is untouched, and the heel still stands square.
Where the line falls
Shoes wear from the ground up: the outsole goes first, then the heel counter collapses, and the upper creases along the flex point.
For comparison, one grade up is New with Tags Shoes and Footwear and one step down is Good Shoes and Footwear.
