Used knee high boots in Boston typically sell for $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 Boston
Boston has an extraordinary concentration of universities and a lease cycle that famously turns over on the same day at the end of summer. For a few days the entire city moves at once, and the second-hand market is built around it.
The end-of-summer turnover is the single biggest event in the local second-hand calendar — furniture appears in enormous volume over about seventy-two hours, and prices are never lower than in that window.
The streets are narrow and old, the triple-decker staircases are tight, and parking during the moving week is close to impossible without planning. The T handles small handovers easily; anything bigger needs a genuine plan.
During the end-of-summer turnover, check upholstered furniture carefully before taking it. Volume is enormous and a great deal of it is genuinely good, but it is also the moment when items get moved out to the kerb for a reason.
Handing it over in Boston
Two practical things shape a US sale. Shipping is priced by dimensional weight as well as actual weight, so a light bulky item can cost far more to send than a heavy small one — measure the box before you quote. And meeting in person is common enough that many police departments now run designated safe-exchange areas in their car parks.
What knee high boots are worth
What lifts the price
- Supple leather with no cracking at the ankle
- Shafts that stand rather than slouch, if the style intends it
What pulls it down
- Broken or split full-length zips
- Slouched or misshapen shafts
Working out what yours is worth
- Work the full-length zip several times
- Flex the ankle and check for cracking
Getting it ready
- Measure the calf circumference at the widest point of the shaft, with the boot zipped and lying flat.
- 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.

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.
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.

How tall is the shaft?
Measure from the floor to the top of the shaft at the back. Shorter buyers care about this as much as calf width and it is equally rarely stated.
