Clarks Resale Value Guides

14 guides to what used Clarks is worth — the price at each condition grade, which lines hold their value, and how to date or identify what you have. Clarks resale is dominated by two designs that have barely changed since the 1950s. The Desert Boot and the Wallabee sell continuously, and both live or die on the state of their crepe soles.

Which Clarks pieces hold their value

Desert Boots and Wallabees in suede, which are the two shapes the company is known for worldwide
Originals-line production, which is the heritage range and is what buyers searching for these models actually want
Pairs with clean, unyellowed crepe soles, since the sole is the detail that dates a pair fastest
Made in England examples, which predate most current production and are sought by people who know the difference

And what pulls the price down

Yellowed and hardened crepe soles, which oxidise with age whether worn or stored and cannot be bleached back evenly
Crumbling crepe, where the sole has gone chalky and starts shedding — this is the end of the shoe rather than a repair
Water-stained suede, which marks in tidelines on an unsealed finish and is very hard to lift
Collapsed heel counters on shoes worn without unlacing, which is common and leaves the back permanently folded

Identifying and dating yours

These are the checks that decide which end of the range a piece sits in, and they are the facts a serious buyer will ask for:

Photograph the sole directly, because crepe condition is what buyers judge these shoes on before anything else
The size and style are stamped inside the collar or on the sock liner; photograph it, and note the country of manufacture
Brush the suede and photograph both shoes in daylight, so colour differences and staining show honestly

WishThrift does not authenticate or inspect anything. Condition and origin are described by the seller against five grades — what each one means — so photograph the markings above rather than asserting them.

Frequently asked questions

Is used Clarks worth buying?

It depends far more on the line than the label. Clarks resale is dominated by two designs that have barely changed since the 1950s. The Desert Boot and the Wallabee sell continuously, and both live or die on the state of their crepe soles. Each guide below says which Clarks lines hold their value for that item and which have almost none, so you are comparing like for like rather than paying for the name alone.

How do I check a piece is genuine Clarks?

Photograph the sole directly, because crepe condition is what buyers judge these shoes on before anything else. WishThrift does not authenticate, inspect or grade anything — condition and origin are described by the seller, so ask directly and expect an answer. A seller who has the item will send a photograph of the marking in minutes.
