Used running shoes in Durgapur typically sell for ₹1,900 to ₹9,000 (about $20 to $94). Used running shoes sell on mileage, and that is the number every runner wants — so estimate the miles honestly and photograph the midsole compression.
Selling running shoes in Durgapur
Durgapur is a planned steel and industrial township with a stable workforce and an organised layout. It is quieter and better serviced than most industrial cities in the region, and goods here are generally well kept.
The township is laid out in lettered and numbered sectors, and an address only makes sense if you have both — a sector letter on its own will not find a door. The plant townships gate their residential blocks as well, so the seller has to arrange entry in advance.
On anything stored through the monsoon, check the back and underside for damp. Township housing is well built but storage areas are often the least ventilated part of it.
Durgapur, in West Bengal, has around 580,000 people, which means a steady local market where the usual things move reliably and the unusual ones are worth listing with a wider radius in mind. Kolkata, Howrah and Asansol are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Durgapur
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.

Brand, model, size and mileage: “Nike Pegasus 40, UK 9, approx 150 miles”. Mileage in the title is unusual and immediately credible to runners. Always say which sizing system, and mention a wide fitting if it is one, because that is a deliberate search.
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.
