Second-hand shoes & footwear in Winston-Salem typically sells for $5 to $160. Brand and size do most of the work, and the extremes of the size range often sell for more because fewer people are competing for them.

Buying shoes & footwear in Winston-Salem
Winston-Salem was built on tobacco and textiles and has reinvented itself around medicine and research, with a restored eighteenth-century Moravian settlement preserved within the city. It has several universities and a substantial arts presence.
Shoes are the category where buyers most want to try before they commit, because a size on a label and a size on a foot are different things. A local sale lets them do that, which is why fewer shoe sales fall through in person than by post.
What to check in person
Turn them over first. The sole and the heel tip tell you how much life is left, and the inside of the heel counter shows how the last owner walked. Bend the shoe gently to check the sole is not separating from the upper.
Collecting it in Winston-Salem
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 city is easy to drive in and parking is manageable, so anything large is straightforward. Several campuses empty within the same fortnight, so collection slots are contested then.
Selling your shoes & footwear in Winston-Salem free
Universities and a medical centre clear housing on academic and residency cycles. Tobacco and textile decline left equipment in private hands, and the old district brings genuinely old furniture onto the market.
Photograph the soles as well as the uppers, because that is the first thing a buyer asks for and the request costs you a day if it is missing. Say whether the original box is included and let the buyer try them on when they arrive. Boots move from the first cold week; trainers and lighter shoes move steadily all year.
Peer-to-peer payment apps dominate private sales, and buyers will usually offer one before they offer cash. Sales tax does not apply to a private sale between individuals.
