Buying shoes & footwear in Kirkcaldy
Kirkcaldy made linoleum on a scale that gave the town a distinctive smell remembered in local verse, and it was the birthplace of the economist who wrote The Wealth of Nations. It has a long esplanade along the Firth and hosts one of the longest street fairs in Europe.

What to check in person
Put both on rather than just one. Feet are rarely an identical pair, and something that suits the left can pinch the right, which is very often the real reason it is being sold. Look along the toe for deep creasing, because that never comes out.
Collecting it in Kirkcaldy
It fits in a bag, so most people meet on the way to something else. A station or a high street works, and neither side needs a car.
The esplanade and the high street are the landmarks everyone uses and the town is compact. Parking is easy except during the fair, when the promenade is closed.

Quote the marking printed inside rather than converting it, and state how many times the pair has genuinely been worn. Boots move from the first cold week; trainers and lighter shoes move steadily all year.
Most private sales settle by bank transfer or cash on collection. Faster Payments clear in seconds, which makes a transfer as safe as cash for the seller — wait for it to land before the item leaves your hands.
