Sell Your Kids Shoes in Montreal

Used kids shoes in Montreal typically sell for C$11 to C$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 Montreal

Montreal has the most distinctive moving culture in the country: a very large share of leases end on the same day at the start of July, and for about a week the entire city changes address at once. The second-hand market is built around that single date.

The outdoor staircases that front so many buildings here are narrow, steep and often spiral, and they defeat more furniture than anything else. Establish the stairs before the price, and remember that winter makes all of it considerably harder.

Measure the outdoor staircase, not just the doorway. The spiral and half-turn stairs on many buildings here defeat sofas and mattresses that would fit anywhere else, and the seller may never have taken it out that way.

Montreal, in Quebec, has around 1.8 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Quebec City, Laval and Gatineau are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

Handing it over in Montreal

Canada Post, Purolator and UPS cover the country, but rates change sharply between provinces and remote postcodes carry surcharges.

What kids shoes are worth

What lifts the price

  • Barely worn shoes with tread still visible
  • Recognised brands with proper fitting construction

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.

List it free here and arrange the handover with the buyer yourself.

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.
