Used hiking boots in Abu Dhabi typically sell for AED 125 to AED 445 (about $34 to $120). Hiking boots are judged on the midsole and the tread, and there is one failure buyers specifically look for: hydrolysis, where a stored boot’s midsole crumbles even though the uppers look perfect.
Selling hiking boots 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.
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.
Abu Dhabi has around 1.5 million people in Abu Dhabi, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Al Ain, Madinat Zayed and Ruwais are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

What hiking boots are worth
What lifts the price
- Intact waterproof membrane with no delamination
- Recent manufacture, since midsoles degrade with age
What pulls it down
- Worn lugs offering no grip
- Cracked leather or split seams at the flex point
Working out what yours is worth
- Flex the sole hard and look for crumbling or separation
- Check the lug depth against a new pair if you can
Getting it ready
- Clean the tread out properly and check the lug depth across the heel and forefoot.
- Check the eyelets and hooks are all present and the laces are sound, and note whether they are waterproof-lined.

Post them boxed. Heavier than most footwear, so weigh them and quote postage before agreeing a price rather than discovering the cost afterwards.
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 still waterproof?
Say what you actually know from wearing them. Membranes degrade, and a boot that wets out after an hour must not be sold as waterproof.
