Used boots in Srinagar typically sell for ₹400 to ₹1,750 (about $4 to $18). Boots are bought on whether they can be resoled, so the useful thing to state is the construction — a welted boot has decades left in it and a cemented sole does not.
Selling boots in Srinagar
The tourist season concentrates trade into a few months, and the long winter effectively pauses much of it. Damp and cold both affect stored goods, and heating equipment turns over sharply each autumn.
Winter restricts movement for several months and the old city lanes are narrow, so timing matters more here than almost anywhere else in the country. Most collection is arranged for the milder part of the year.
On carpets and shawls, ask about the knot count and the material, and check for moth damage in the pile. Winter storage is long here and moth is the commonest hidden fault.
Srinagar, in Jammu and Kashmir, has around 1.2 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Mumbai, Delhi and Bengaluru are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Srinagar
India’s second-hand market runs heavily through direct conversation — buyers expect to message, negotiate and ask questions before committing, and a listing that answers those questions up front sells noticeably faster than one that does not.

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
- Cemented soles that cannot be replaced
- Cracked leather across the flex point
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
- Look at the sole edge: a line of stitching around the welt means the boots are resoleable, which is a major selling point.
- Check the heel wear, the sole tread and the insole, and photograph the size stamp inside or on the sole.
Photograph
- Both boots side on, upright, on a plain surface
- The soles, showing tread, heel wear and whether there is a stitched welt
Put in the description
- Brand, model and size with the sizing system stated
- Leather or synthetic, and whether the sole is welted or cemented
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.
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.
