Used knee high boots in Australia typically sell for A$48 to A$210 (about $34 to $150). Knee high boots have one measurement that decides everything and is almost never given: the calf circumference. State it and you will outsell every listing that does not.

Selling knee high boots in Australia
Bank transfer via PayID is instant and is what most private buyers will offer. Cash on collection remains common for larger items.
Australia’s second-hand market is strongly local and strongly seasonal, with most activity concentrated in the eastern capitals and buyers who expect to collect.
Australia Post covers everywhere, but distance pricing is real and interstate parcels cost meaningfully more than local ones.
WishThrift has not opened Australia for trading yet, so this page is a guide rather than a live marketplace — the category becomes browsable here the moment the first Australian sellers list.
Working out what yours is worth
- Measure the calf circumference and shaft height
- Flex the ankle and check for cracking
Getting it ready
- Test the zips fully up and down. A sticking zip is the most common fault and, on a tall shaft, it makes the boot unwearable.
- Stuff the shafts so they stand upright, and clean the leather or brush the suede before photographing.
Photograph

- Both soles and heel tips

Put in the description
- Size as marked, with UK, EU and US equivalents
- Calf circumference and shaft height in centimetres, measured flat
- Heel height and type
Brand, material, size and shaft: “Leather Knee High Boots, Size 6, Black, 38cm Calf”. Putting the calf measurement in the title is unusual and it works, because a large share of buyers have been caught out by a shaft that would not close and now search specifically for one that will.
Autumn and early winter carry this category almost entirely. Listed in September or October a good pair sells quickly; the same boots in April will barely be seen.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the A$211 a buyer pays is the A$211 you keep. You and the buyer settle up and arrange the handover between yourselves; WishThrift does not hold the money or ship the item.

Common questions
Where can I sell knee high boots in Australia?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. Bank transfer via PayID is instant and is what most private buyers will offer. Cash on collection remains common for larger items.
What is the calf measurement?
Give it in centimetres, measured around the widest point with the boot zipped. It is the reason knee high boots get returned more than any other footwear, and you cannot accept a return.
What fails on knee-high boots?
The full-length zip, which takes strain every time they go on. Test it repeatedly before listing.
Do slouched shafts reduce value?
If the style is meant to stand, yes. Photograph them as they actually sit rather than propping them up.
