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 Schuh
- Children’s shoes in good condition, which are outgrown long before they wear out and which parents buy used readily
- Own-label leather styles rather than synthetic, which is the difference between a listing that clears and one that sits
- Boxed pairs with the original insoles, since insoles are the part that degrades and are rarely kept
- Retailer-exclusive colourways of well-known brands, which cannot be found elsewhere and are searched by that description
What pulls Schuh resale value down
- Creased and split synthetic uppers, which is the commonest failure on inexpensive footwear
- Worn-through soles on children’s shoes, which is where they actually fail and which parents check first
- Missing insoles, which are moulded to the previous wearer and are not easily replaced
- Adult own-label styles in common sizes, which sit against a low new price and move slowly
Identifying and dating yours
- Say whether the shoes are Schuh own-label or another brand bought there, since that sets the price bracket
- For children’s shoes, give the size in both UK and EU and photograph the sole wear directly
- Photograph the insole in place, because a missing or heavily moulded insole is the detail buyers ask about
What lifts any kids shoes, whatever the label
Children outgrow shoes in months, so many are barely worn, and the sole is what tells a buyer how much life is left.
- Barely worn shoes with tread still visible
- Recognised brands with proper fitting construction
- School shoes and wellies in common sizes
- Original box for smarter styles
And what pulls one down
- Worn-down soles and moulded footbeds
- Scuffed toes on school shoes
- Odour, which is difficult to remove
- Very small sizes worn only briefly but heavily
Working out what yours is worth
- Photograph the soles as well as the uppers
- Check the insole for a moulded impression
- State the size in both UK and EU where marked
What to state in the listing
- Size as marked, width fitting if given, and internal length in centimetres
- Brand and material
- How much they have been worn, honestly
- Sole and heel wear pattern, and the state of the insole
Brand, size and type: “Clarks School Shoes, Size 11F, Black Leather”. The width fitting is a genuine search for parents whose child has been measured, and it is almost never included in listings. Say leather or synthetic, and whether they are school shoes or casual.
Preparing and photographing it
- Look at the sole wear pattern and the inside of the heel. A shoe worn heavily on one edge has moulded to a specific gait.
- Clean them thoroughly, including the insoles, and remove or replace anything soiled.
- Measure the internal length in centimetres, since children’s sizing varies significantly between brands.
- The pair side on, clean, standing
- Both soles, showing the wear pattern honestly
- The insoles and inside of the heel
- The size marking, plus any scuff, split or worn toe
When it sells best, and handing it over
Peaks in August for school shoes and again in spring. Barely-worn shoes in common sizes sell within days in season.
Light and cheap to post. Box rather than bag so the shape holds, and say plainly that they have been cleaned — for children’s footwear that reassurance matters.
What buyers ask
Do children’s shoes really sell used?
Yes, in volume — they are outgrown while there is life left in them. Photograph the sole wear honestly and give both UK and EU sizes.
Is own-label worth listing?
Leather own-label styles and children’s sizes are. Adult synthetic styles in common sizes are usually better as part of a bundle.
How much are Schuh kids shoes worth?
Roughly £4 to £22 depending on condition, against £5 to £29 for kids shoes generally. The identification points above are what move a listing to the top of that range.
