Seller-declared grades, sterling with an approximate US dollar equivalent at £1 ≈ $1.33 (July 2026). What each grade means.
What holds its value across Boohoo
- Discontinued styles that a buyer has searched for specifically, which is the main reason anyone buys this brand used
- Unworn pieces with tags, which are common because so much is bought online and never returned in time
- Occasion and party dresses close to the season, which is when the searches actually happen
- Larger and petite range pieces, which are stocked less deeply and are harder for a buyer to find new
What pulls Boohoo resale value down
- Sizing that does not match the label, which is inconsistent between production runs and is the commonest complaint on this brand
- Thin polyester that has pilled or gone shiny, which happens quickly and is very visible under a flash
- Split seams under the arm and at the waist, which is where the lighter construction gives way
- Everyday jersey basics, which have no scarcity behind them and no resale floor
Identifying and dating yours
- Give flat bust, waist, hip and length measurements in centimetres, because the label size on this brand cannot be relied on
- Photograph the style name or code on the interior label, which is how a buyer confirms it is the piece they searched for
- Photograph the seams under the arm and at the waist, since that is where the construction shows its age
What lifts any heels, whatever the label
Heels are judged on the parts that touch the ground, because worn tips and scuffed heels are the first things a buyer sees.
- Recognised designer labels with a resale following
- Intact heel tips with no exposed metal
- Leather soles and uppers over synthetic
- Original box and dust bags
And what pulls one down
- Worn-through heel tips showing the metal pin
- Scuffed heel stems and toe caps
- Stretched or creased vamps
- Very high heels, which suit fewer buyers
Working out what yours is worth
- Look at the heel tips and note whether they need replacing
- Photograph the soles and heel stems
- Measure the heel height and state it
What to state in the listing
- Size as marked, with UK, EU and US equivalents
- Heel height in centimetres, and heel type — stiletto, block, kitten or wedge
- Material of the upper and whether the sole is leather or synthetic
- Condition of the tips, insole and heel covering, stated separately
Brand, style and height: “Kurt Geiger Court Heels, Size 5, Black Patent” or “Block Heel Sandals, Nude, EU 38, 7cm”. Heel height in centimetres belongs in the description at least, because a buyer who cannot walk in 10cm will not buy them at any price.
Preparing and photographing it
- Check every heel tip. Worn-through tips exposing metal are both a defect and a floor hazard, and replacing them is inexpensive.
- Inspect the heel covering for lifting or scuffing, which is the wear point on covered heels.
- Clean the soles and the insole. A soiled insole reads as worn far more strongly than the actual wear justifies.
- The pair side on, standing, so the heel shape and height read clearly
- The soles and heel tips together
- The insole and inside label showing brand and size
- The heel covering close up, plus any scuff, mark or lifting
When it sells best, and handing it over
Lifts around party season from November to December and again through wedding season in late spring. Neutral colours in common sizes sell fastest; bold occasion colours take longer but face less competition.
Post boxed, with each shoe wrapped and the heels protected. Thin heels snap in transit when they are loose in a padded bag, so a rigid box is worth the small extra postage.
What buyers ask
Why does the same size fit differently?
Production runs vary. That is why flat measurements matter more here than on almost any other brand — give them and most returns questions disappear.
What actually sells from this brand second hand?
Discontinued styles someone is hunting for, unworn tagged pieces, and occasion dresses in season. Everyday basics rarely move.
How much are Boohoo heels worth?
Roughly £7 to £33 depending on condition, against £13 to £60 for heels generally. The identification points above are what move a listing to the top of that range.
