Used boots in Toronto 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 Toronto
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.
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.
Confirm that the building allows a service-lift booking and when. Most condo boards require one, and turning up without it is the commonest reason a Toronto furniture collection has to be rearranged.
Toronto, in Ontario, has around 2.8 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Ottawa, Brampton and Hamilton are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Toronto
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.

What boots are worth
What lifts the price
- Uppers with no cracking across the vamp
- Original laces, box and any dust bags
What pulls it down
- Cracked leather across the flex point
- Salt staining from winter wear
Working out what yours is worth
- Look at the sole edge for a welt stitch line
- Check the heel block and sole thickness
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 size stamp, legible
Put in the description
- Leather or synthetic, and whether the sole is welted or cemented
- 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.
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.

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.
