Marks and Spencer Brogues Resale Value

Marks and Spencer brogues: price by condition

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 Marks and Spencer

• Autograph and the former Jaeger line, the premium ranges, which use materially better cloth than the mainline and are labelled separately
• Pure cashmere jumpers, which M&S sells in volume at a price that makes them one of the most reliably traded items on the high street
• Per Una pieces, which have a distinct and loyal following that searches the sub-brand by name rather than the parent
• Tailoring and wool coats, which are cut conservatively and therefore date slowly

What pulls Marks and Spencer resale value down

• Pilled cashmere, which is the one thing that ends the value of the range’s best item and which shows up immediately in photographs
• Mainline M&S Collection basics, which are produced in enormous volume and sit at the bottom of the market
• Faded blacks and greys, particularly on the jersey pieces
• Bobbled or misshapen knitwear generally, where the garment no longer hangs as it did

Identifying and dating yours

1. The neck label names the sub-range — M&S Collection, Autograph, Per Una, Jaeger — and this single detail moves the price more than anything else
2. Cashmere is stated as a percentage on the composition label, and buyers want to see 100% rather than a blend
3. M&S sizing has been consistent for years, but state the flat measurements anyway for anything tailored

What lifts any brogues, whatever the label

Brogues are formal shoes bought to last, so construction and resoling potential drive value more than cosmetics.

• Goodyear-welted construction
• Recognised shoemakers with resoling services
• Clean brogueing with no cracked perforations
• Original trees, box and dust bags

And what pulls one down

• Cemented soles that cannot be resoled
• Cracking across the vamp through the perforations
• Worn heel blocks and thin soles
• Very dated toe shapes

Working out what yours is worth

1. Look for a welt stitch line around the sole edge
2. Flex the vamp and check the perforations for cracking
3. Check the heel block thickness

What to state in the listing

• Size as marked with equivalents, and width fitting if given
• Upper leather type and sole material
• Whether the shoe is welted and resoleable
• Sole and heel wear, and any creasing or scuff

Brand, style and size: “Loake Full Brogue, Goodyear Welted, UK 9”. Goodyear welted is a genuine search term worth real money. Say full brogue, semi-brogue or quarter brogue, since the detailing level is a real distinction.

Preparing and photographing it

1. Check for a stitch line around the welt, which means the shoe can be resoled.
2. Polish them properly and check the brogueing perforations are clean and undamaged.
3. Check the heel block and sole wear, and look at the creasing across the vamp.

1. The pair side on, polished, standing
2. Both soles, showing the welt stitching and wear
3. The brogue detailing close up
4. The inside label with brand, size and any ‘made in’ marking, plus every scuff

When it sells best, and handing it over

Steady year round with a lift in autumn and before Christmas. Quality English and Northampton-made shoes sell within days to buyers who know the makers.

Post boxed with shoe trees or paper inside. Include the original box and any dust bags if you have them — on quality shoes they matter to buyers.

What buyers ask

Is M&S cashmere worth selling secondhand?

Yes, and it is one of the most consistently traded items on the high street. It sells on condition rather than season, so pilling is what decides the price. Photograph the cuffs and underarms, where it shows first.

What is the difference between Autograph and M&S Collection?

Autograph is the premium range and uses better cloth; M&S Collection is the mainline. The neck label says which you have, and Autograph sells for noticeably more.

How much are Marks and Spencer brogues worth?

Roughly £13 to £60 depending on condition, against £15 to £71 for brogues generally. The identification points above are what move a listing to the top of that range.

What the fees would take elsewhere

At the mid-range £36 for Marks and Spencer brogues, against what the commission marketplaces would deduct:

Seller-side rates verified 26 Jul 2026, percentages only — the per-order and processing charges those platforms add are excluded, so the real gap is wider.
