Used kids shoes in Abu Dhabi typically sell for AED 30 to AED 150 (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 Abu Dhabi
Abu Dhabi is the capital and its economy is built around government and energy, which means longer postings and more settled households than Dubai. Things are kept for longer and sold in better condition, and the market skews towards quality furniture rather than quick disposals.
Most of the city sits on an island connected by a handful of bridges, so crossing to the mainland suburbs is a real trip rather than a short hop. Compounds and towers usually need visitor access arranged in advance.
Ask how long the seller has owned the item. Postings here run longer than in Dubai, so goods are typically better used but also better looked after, and the ownership history tells you which you are getting.
Abu Dhabi has around 1.5 million people in Abu Dhabi, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Al Ain, Madinat Zayed and Ruwais 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
- Scuffed toes on school shoes
- Very small sizes worn only briefly but heavily
Working out what yours is worth
- Photograph the soles as well as the uppers
- Check the insole for a moulded impression
Getting it ready
- Clean them thoroughly, including the insoles, and remove or replace anything soiled.
- Measure the internal length in centimetres, since children’s sizing varies significantly between brands.

Put in the description
- Size as marked, width fitting if given, and internal length in centimetres
- 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.
