Used hiking boots in Inverness typically sell for £25 to £90 (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 Inverness
Inverness is the capital of the Highlands and the largest settlement for a very long way in any direction, at the mouth of the river that runs from the loch famous worldwide. It is the base for an enormous tourist trade and the service centre for a huge rural area. It is also one of the things that moves most reliably here, so there is a local audience for it already.
The city is compact and the river and castle are the landmarks everyone uses. It serves a vast area, so buyers may be driving in from a long way out and will want a firm time rather than a window.
Establish the actual driving distance before agreeing a price. This city serves an enormous rural area and a collection can be two hours each way, which is a real part of what the item costs.
Inverness, in Scotland, has around 70,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Glasgow, Edinburgh and Aberdeen are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

Working out what yours is worth

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.

- Both soles, showing lug depth and any separation at the welt
- The midsole flexed, so its condition is visible
Put in the description
- Whether the boot has a waterproof membrane, and whether it still performs
- Approximate mileage or seasons of use, given honestly
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.

Where can I sell hiking boots in Inverness?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. The city is compact and the river and castle are the landmarks everyone uses. It serves a vast area, so buyers may be driving in from a long way out and will want a firm time rather than a window.
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.
