Sell Your Loafers in Canada

Used loafers in Canada typically sell for C$28 to C$130 (about $20 to $94). Loafers are increasingly built to be resoled, and whether yours can be is most of what sets the price.

Selling loafers in Canada

Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.

Canada’s resale market is concentrated in a handful of metro areas separated by very long distances, which makes it unusually collection-led — most buyers are looking for something they can pick up the same week.

Canada Post, Purolator and UPS cover the country, but rates change sharply between provinces and remote postcodes carry surcharges.

Two practical things shape a Canadian sale. Interprovincial shipping costs can exceed the value of a mid-priced item, which is why so much trade here is collection-only. And winter genuinely interrupts handovers in much of the country, so agree a window rather than a fixed day between December and March.

Working out what yours is worth

• Check the sole edge for a welt stitch line
• Flex the vamp looking for cracking

Getting it ready

• Look at the welt. A visible stitch line around the sole means the shoe can be resoled, and that is worth saying.
• Check any tassel, penny strap or bit hardware is secure and unbroken.

Put in the description

• Upper material and sole material
• Whether the shoe is welted and can be resoled
• Insole length in centimetres, and the condition of the sole and heel

Brand, style and material: “Leather Penny Loafers, Size 8, Brown” or “Suede Tassel Loafers, EU 42”. Name the maker if there is one, and say Goodyear welted or leather soled if it is true — those phrases bring in buyers who are searching for exactly that.

Post boxed with each shoe wrapped and shoe trees or paper inside to hold the shape. Light and easy to send, which widens your audience well beyond your own town.

It costs nothing to list

There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the C$132 a buyer pays is the C$132 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 loafers in Canada?

List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.

Are they leather soled?

Photograph the sole. Leather soles are a preference rather than an upgrade for some buyers, so state it and let the right buyer find you.

Which loafers are worth the most used?

Welted pairs from makers that offer resoling. They can be rebuilt repeatedly, which keeps second-hand demand strong.

Do shoe trees add value?

They help, mainly because they signal the shoes were stored properly and have kept their shape.
