Sell Your Shoes - Pre-owned

How to sell

We offer two ways to sell your shoes: in store and through the mail.

In store

Bring your shoes and a valid ID to our store. We’ll evaluate them and quote a price. It’s yours to take or leave. There’s no pressure from us either way, but the offer is firm.

By mail

Don’t live in New York? Follow the instructions in our mail-in guide. You’ll take photos of your shoes, we’ll evaluate them and send you a pre-paid shipping label.

Photograph your shoes
Photograph your shoes on a neutral background. Natural light is preferred.
Document the following: top, sides, and heels of the shoes; soles; creases on vamp and toes; heel wear; inside of heels; any scuffs, scratches, or defects; and the size written inside the shoe.
Follow the example images below.
Email us your photos
Send the photos to preowned@leffot.com. Include brand, model, and size information, as well as details about any packaging you have (box, dust bags, etc).
Preliminary evaluation
We’ll check out your shoes and let you know if we’d like to purchase them. We don’t accept everything. Read more about what we’re looking for on the sell your shoes page.
This is the point when we’ll make you an offer. It’s yours to accept or decline, but the price is firm.
Ship your shoes
We’ll send you a prepaid domestic (USA) shipping label, so all you have to do is box up your shoes and take them to the nearest UPS store.
Sorry, but we do not provide prepaid shipping for international sellers. International shipping fees as well as any customs, duties and taxes are the sole responsibility of the seller.
Final evaluation
We’ll give the shoes a second inspection when they arrive. We reserve the right to decline shoes upon arrival. We’ll return them to you at no cost.
Get paid
If you’d like to be paid cash, we’ll send you money through PayPal. If you’d like store credit, we’ll keep it on file.

Payment

We offer two forms of payment: cash and store credit. The amount we pay varies based on the shoes’ condition and original retail price.

Cash is paid via PayPal on the day we purchase your shoes. Store credit is kept on file and cannot be converted to cash.

All purchases and transactions are final. Please be certain you are ready to part with your shoes.

What we buy

We purchase the brands we stock: Alden, Corthay, Edward Green, Gaziano & Girling, John Lobb, Norman Vilalta, Quoddy, Saint Crispin’s, and Wolverine. Other brands may be accepted at our discretion on a case-by-case basis. If you have a question about a brand, contact us.

We purchase high-quality items in good condition. When going through your closet, ask yourself if you’d purchase the item in its current condition.

We do not accept sneakers, sport or athletic shoes, shoes recrafted by anyone other than the original manufacturer, or shoes that are overly worn.

We buy and price items according to demand, condition, size, and inventory levels. We reserve the right to refuse any item.
