Selling boots in Saint John
Industrial shift work runs on its own cycle and the older housing stock turns over with old contents. Damp and fog mean storage conditions matter more here than in most of the country.
The uptown core is compact and hilly with limited parking, so confirm access for anything large. The city is spread around the harbour, so agree which side rather than assuming a short trip.
Fog here is a summer constant, not an occasional thing. Ask where the item was stored and check any metal fitting for corrosion, particularly on anything kept near the harbour.
Saint John, in New Brunswick, has around 70,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Moncton, Fredericton and Toronto are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Saint John
Canada Post, Purolator and UPS cover the country, but rates change sharply between provinces and remote postcodes carry surcharges.

What boots are worth
What lifts the price
- Goodyear-welted or stitched construction that can be resoled
- Uppers with no cracking across the vamp
What pulls it down
- Worn heel blocks and thin soles
- 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.
- Check the heel wear, the sole tread and the insole, and photograph the size stamp inside or on the sole.
Photograph
- The soles, showing tread, heel wear and whether there is a stitched welt
- The leather uppers close up, plus any scuff, crack or separation
Put in the description
- Leather or synthetic, and whether the sole is welted or cemented
- Whether they are waterproof or steel toe capped, if relevant
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.
