Used work boots in Edmonton typically sell for C$47 to C$210 (about $34 to $150). Work boots sell on their safety rating and their remaining sole, and the rating stamped inside the tongue is the fact that makes the listing findable.
Selling work boots in Edmonton
Edmonton has some of the coldest winters of any major North American city and an economy built on energy and services. Serious winter clothing is a necessity rather than a seasonal purchase, and indoor hobbies and equipment have a correspondingly deep market.
Energy employment drives the larger cycle and the university adds an academic one. Anything for the outdoors moves in a short, intense summer window and then vanishes for the rest of the year.
Ask whether the item spent winters somewhere heated. Extreme cold is hard on plastics, batteries and adhesives, and the damage does not show until something is put under load.
Edmonton, in Alberta, has around 1 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Calgary, Red Deer and Lethbridge are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Edmonton
Winter clothing and sports equipment move from October, and the spring thaw brings the strongest few weeks for furniture, bikes and garden items.

Common questions
Where can I sell work boots in Edmonton?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. Driving is easy and parking is plentiful, so collection is simple whenever the weather allows. For several months a year it does not, and both sides are usually glad of a garage or an underground car park.
Steel or composite toe?
Say which. Composite is lighter and non-metallic, steel is cheaper and more common, and some workplaces require one or the other specifically.
