Used boots in Canada typically sell for C$38 to C$170 (about $27 to $120). Good boots are built to be resoled, which is why quality pairs hold value long after cheaper ones have been thrown away.
What boots are worth in Canada

What lifts the price
- Recognised makers with resoling services available
- Uppers with no cracking across the vamp
What pulls it down
- Cemented soles that cannot be replaced
- Cracked leather across the flex point
Selling boots in Canada
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.
Canada Post, Purolator and UPS cover the country, but rates change sharply between provinces and remote postcodes carry surcharges.
Shipping cost is the single commonest reason a Canadian listing stalls. Decide collection versus courier before you price it, and say which you are offering.
Working out what yours is worth
- Look at the sole edge for a welt stitch line
- Flex the vamp and check for cracking
Sell your Boots in Canada
Listing is free and there is no commission and no buyer fee, so the price you agree is the price you keep. Most listings take about a minute to put up.
Getting it ready
- Clean and condition the leather. Boots respond visibly to a wipe and a coat of polish, and it costs almost nothing.
- Check the heel wear, the sole tread and the insole, and photograph the size stamp inside or on the sole.
Photograph
- The size stamp, legible
- The leather uppers close up, plus any scuff, crack or separation
Put in the description
- Brand, model and size with the sizing system stated
- Sole and heel wear, and whether they have been resoled before
Brand, style and size: “Dr. Martens 1460 Boots, UK 8, Black Leather”. If they are Goodyear welted, put that in the title — buyers who know footwear search for it and pay more. State the sizing system, and say whether they are leather or synthetic.
Heavier than shoes so postage costs a little more, but still straightforward. Wrap each boot separately and check the parcel weight before quoting the buyer a postage price.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the C$170 a buyer pays is the C$170 you keep. You and the buyer settle up and arrange the handover between yourselves; WishThrift does not hold the money or ship the item.

Common questions
Where can I sell boots in Canada?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. 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.
Are they real leather?
Check the inner label and the cut edge of the material. Say plainly if they are synthetic — it is not a problem stated up front and is a real one discovered later.
Which used boots are worth the most?
Welted boots from makers that support resoling. They can be rebuilt repeatedly, which keeps second-hand demand strong.
Do resoled boots sell for less?
Not much, provided the work was done well. A recent professional resole can actually raise the price, since it resets the wear.
