Sell Your Kids Shoes in India

Used kids shoes in India typically sell for ₹750 to ₹3,850 (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 India

UPI has largely replaced cash for in-person handovers and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. Cash on delivery is still widely expected for anything posted, and it is worth deciding your position on it before you list.

Negotiation is normal and expected rather than a sign of a difficult buyer. Price with a little room in it and say whether the price is firm.

Demand climbs ahead of the festival season and again in the run-up to wedding season, when clothing, jewellery and home items all move faster.

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.
Clean them thoroughly, including the insoles, and remove or replace anything soiled.

Put in the description

Size as marked, width fitting if given, and internal length in centimetres
Brand and material

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.

Peaks in August for school shoes and again in spring. Barely-worn shoes in common sizes sell within days in season.

It costs nothing to list

There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the ₹3,850 a buyer pays is the ₹3,850 you keep. You and the buyer settle up and arrange the handover between yourselves; WishThrift does not hold the money or ship the item.

Where in India

India is a big place and what sells well moves with it. These are the parts of India with their own page for kids shoes.

Common questions

Where can I sell kids shoes in India?

List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. UPI has largely replaced cash for in-person handovers and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. Cash on delivery is still widely expected for anything posted, and it is worth deciding your position on it before you list.

What is the internal length?

Measure it in centimetres. Brand sizing differs and parents who have had a child measured work in centimetres, not sizes.

Are used children’s shoes worth selling?

Yes, because children outgrow them so quickly that many are barely worn. The sole condition is what buyers judge.

Should children wear second-hand shoes?

Lightly worn shoes are generally fine. Heavily worn ones have moulded to another child’s foot, which is why sole and insole condition matters.
