Used kids shoes in Brisbane typically sell for A$11 to A$57 (about $8 to $40). Children outgrow shoes in months, so many are barely worn, and the sole is what tells a buyer how much life is left.
Selling kids shoes in Brisbane
Brisbane is subtropical, and that genuinely determines what survives second hand here. Humidity is hard on anything upholstered, wooden or electronic that has been stored badly, and buyers who have lived here a while will ask where an item was kept before they ask anything else.
The river cuts the city in half and there are only so many crossings, so which side someone is on matters more than the distance on a map. Most people arrange collection rather than posting, and utes are common enough that furniture moves easily.
Ask where the item was stored before anything else. Humidity here is hard on upholstery, timber and electronics alike, and something kept in an unventilated garage can be well past saving while still looking fine.
Brisbane has around 2.6 million people in Queensland, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast and Townsville are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

What kids shoes are worth
What lifts the price
- Recognised brands with proper fitting construction
- Original box for smarter styles
What pulls it down
- Worn-down soles and moulded footbeds
- Very small sizes worn only briefly but heavily
Working out what yours is worth
- Check the insole for a moulded impression
- State the size in both UK and EU where marked
Getting it ready
- Look at the sole wear pattern and the inside of the heel. A shoe worn heavily on one edge has moulded to a specific gait.
- Measure the internal length in centimetres, since children’s sizing varies significantly between brands.

- Brand and material
- How much they have been worn, honestly
Light and cheap to post. Box rather than bag so the shape holds, and say plainly that they have been cleaned — for children’s footwear that reassurance matters.
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 kids shoes in Brisbane?
Put it on WishThrift free and deal with the buyer direct. The river cuts the city in half and there are only so many crossings, so which side someone is on matters more than the distance on a map. Most people arrange collection rather than posting, and utes are common enough that furniture moves easily.
Are they leather?
Say so, and note if they are the type that can be re-polished. Leather school shoes clean up far better than synthetic ones and it is worth mentioning.
