Used knee high boots in Portland 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 Portland
Portland has an unusually strong DIY and repair culture and one of the highest cycling rates of any American city. Bikes, tools and records all have deep, knowledgeable local markets, and buying used is entirely mainstream here.
A young, mobile population and a large rental stock keep household goods circulating steadily rather than seasonally. Rain is constant enough that outdoor storage is always worth asking about.
A surprising number of small handovers genuinely happen by bike. The city is flat on the east side and hilly on the west, and the river crossings are the thing that actually determines how long a collection takes.
On a used bike, ask about the frame and the drivetrain separately. The riding here is wet and year-round, so drivetrains wear faster than the mileage suggests while frames often have plenty left.
Handing it over in Portland
The US resale market is enormous and highly local — most transactions still happen between people within driving distance of each other, and buyers expect to collect rather than wait for a courier.
What knee high boots are worth
What lifts the price
- Supple leather with no cracking at the ankle
- Working full-length zips
What pulls it down
- Slouched or misshapen shafts
- Very narrow calf fittings
Working out what yours is worth
- Measure the calf circumference and shaft height
- Work the full-length zip several times
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.

Bulkier than most footwear, so use a proper box and quote postage from an actual weight. Do not fold the shafts to make them fit a smaller box — leather creases permanently.
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.
