Used boots in Hamilton 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.
Selling boots in Hamilton
Arrivals from Toronto typically move from a condo to a house and buy furniture to fill it, while the industrial base keeps tools and equipment turning over independently of the housing market.
The city sits on and below an escarpment, and which side of it someone is on is worth establishing before agreeing anything heavy. Driving and parking are otherwise easy compared with Toronto.
On used tools, ask whether they came from a trade or a home workshop. Trade tools are usually better maintained but have done far more work, and the price should reflect which you are buying.
Hamilton, in Ontario, has around 570,000 people, which means a steady local market where the usual things move reliably and the unusual ones are worth listing with a wider radius in mind. Toronto, Ottawa and Brampton are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

What boots are worth
What lifts the price
- Recognised makers with resoling services available
- Original laces, box and any dust bags
What pulls it down
- Cemented soles that cannot be replaced
- Salt staining from winter wear
Working out what yours is worth
- Look at the sole edge for a welt stitch line
- Flex the vamp and check for cracking
Getting it ready
- Clean and condition the leather. Boots respond visibly to a wipe and a coat of polish, and it costs almost nothing.
- Look at the sole edge: a line of stitching around the welt means the boots are resoleable, which is a major selling point.

Put in the description
- Brand, model and size with the sizing system stated
- Leather or synthetic, and whether the sole is welted or cemented
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.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.
