Used heels in Abu Dhabi typically sell for AED 59 to AED 295 (about $16 to $81). Heels sell on brand and on the state of the tips and the heel covering — and honest measurement matters more here than in any other footwear, because there is no give at all.
Selling heels in Abu Dhabi
Abu Dhabi is the capital and its economy is built around government and energy, which means longer postings and more settled households than Dubai. Things are kept for longer and sold in better condition, and the market skews towards quality furniture rather than quick disposals.
Postings here run longer than Dubai’s, so turnover is slower and steadier. The end of the school year is still the peak, but the volume is lower and the items that appear have usually been looked after.
Most of the city sits on an island connected by a handful of bridges, so crossing to the mainland suburbs is a real trip rather than a short hop. Compounds and towers usually need visitor access arranged in advance.
Ask how long the seller has owned the item. Postings here run longer than in Dubai, so goods are typically better used but also better looked after, and the ownership history tells you which you are getting.

Trading is not open in the Emirates yet, so treat this as a reference page: the pricing and the checks below hold, but the listings will appear once sellers here start posting.
What heels are worth
What lifts the price
- Intact heel tips with no exposed metal
- Original box and dust bags
What pulls it down
- Scuffed heel stems and toe caps
- Very high heels, which suit fewer buyers
Working out what yours is worth
- Look at the heel tips and note whether they need replacing
- Photograph the soles and heel stems
Getting it ready
- Inspect the heel covering for lifting or scuffing, which is the wear point on covered heels.
- Clean the soles and the insole. A soiled insole reads as worn far more strongly than the actual wear justifies.
Photograph
- The pair side on, standing, so the heel shape and height read clearly
- The insole and inside label showing brand and size
Put in the description
- Size as marked, with UK, EU and US equivalents
- Material of the upper and whether the sole is leather or synthetic
Post boxed, with each shoe wrapped and the heels protected. Thin heels snap in transit when they are loose in a padded bag, so a rigid box is worth the small extra postage.
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.
