Used loafers in India typically sell for ₹1,900 to ₹9,000 (about $20 to $94). Loafers are a shoe where construction sets the price — a stitched, resoleable pair from a known maker is worth several times a glued pair that looks identical in photographs.
What loafers are worth in India

Selling loafers in India
UPI has largely replaced cash for in-person handovers and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. Cash on delivery is still widely expected for anything posted, and it is worth deciding your position on it before you list.
India’s second-hand market runs heavily through direct conversation — buyers expect to message, negotiate and ask questions before committing, and a listing that answers those questions up front sells noticeably faster than one that does not.
Negotiation is normal and expected rather than a sign of a difficult buyer. Price with a little room in it and say whether the price is firm.
Working out what yours is worth
- Flex the vamp looking for cracking
- Photograph the soles and heel blocks
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.
- Clean and polish the uppers, and check the heel for wear and the sole for thinning at the ball of the foot.
Photograph
- Both soles together, showing the welt stitching and wear
- Any hardware, plus every scuff, crease or heel wear point
Put in the description
- Size as marked, with UK, EU and US equivalents, and the width fitting if given
- Upper material and sole material
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.
Steadiest from spring through early autumn, with a lift before Christmas. Quality brands sell year-round to buyers who know the maker; unbranded pairs are seasonal and compete on price.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the ₹9,000 a buyer pays is the ₹9,000 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 India?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. UPI has largely replaced cash for in-person handovers and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. Cash on delivery is still widely expected for anything posted, and it is worth deciding your position on it before you list.
What width are they?
Give the fitting code from the label if there is one. Loafers have no laces to adjust, so width matters more here than on most shoes.
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.
Can loafers be resoled?
Welted ones can, several times. Cemented pairs generally cannot, which is why they are worth much less second hand.
