Used skate shoes in Canada typically sell for C$28 to C$105 (about $20 to $74). Skate shoes are built to be destroyed, so genuinely lightly worn pairs are scarcer than they look.

- Vulcanised soles with tread remaining
What pulls it down
- Wear-through at the ollie patch
- Separated vulcanised soles
Selling skate shoes 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 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 ollie patch area on the outer side
- Inspect where the sole meets the upper for separation
Sell your Skate Shoes in Canada
Listing is free and there is no commission and no buyer fee, so the price you agree is the price you keep. Most listings take about a minute to put up.
Getting it ready
- Check the ollie patch area on the outer side of the toe for wear or a hole, which is where skate shoes fail first.
- Wash the laces and clean the suede with a brush rather than water, which stains it permanently.
Photograph
- Both soles, showing tread and any separation
- The inside size label, the tongue branding, and any hole, scuff or sole gap
Put in the description
- Size as marked, with UK, EU and US equivalents
- Construction — vulcanised or cupsole — and the upper material
Brand and model, then colourway: “Vans Old Skool Skate Shoes, UK 9, Black White” or “Nike SB Dunk Low, EU 43”. Colourway names are how this market searches, so use the official one if you know it. Say deadstock only if they are genuinely unworn.
Post in the original box if you have it, otherwise in a rigid box rather than a bag. Buyers of collectable models care about how the shoes arrive almost as much as what arrives.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the C$104 a buyer pays is the C$104 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 skate shoes 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.
Do you have the box?
Say so. For collectable models the original box carries real value, and for everything else it makes posting simpler and safer.
Where do skate shoes wear first?
The ollie patch on the outer side of the foot, from board grip. It is the first place buyers look.
Are skate shoes worth selling if worn?
Lightly worn pairs sell well. Once the ollie patch has worn through, the shoe is near the end of its life.
