Used kids shoes in Geelong typically sell for A$11 to A$57 (about $8 to $40). Children’s shoes are the one clothing item where honesty about wear really matters, because a shoe moulded to another child’s foot is not a bargain at any price.
Selling kids shoes in Geelong
Geelong built its wealth on wool and then on car manufacturing, and the closure of the plant reshaped the city into a port, university and health town instead. It is the gateway to the surf coast, and close enough to Melbourne that a great many people commute.
The city is compact and driving is straightforward, and the rail line to Melbourne makes small handovers easy without a car. For anything large, the waterfront and the centre are easier to load from than the older inner streets.
On tools from a manufacturing background, ask their age and whether they ran daily. Ex-industrial equipment is often excellent value here but it has done far more hours than a domestic machine of the same year.
Geelong, in Victoria, has around 290,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Melbourne, Ballarat and Bendigo 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

What pulls it down
- Odour, which is difficult to remove
- 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.
