Must-have photos
- The whole outer sole, well lit.
- Inside of the heel, the most visible wear zone.
- A three-quarter view on a neutral background.
- A close-up of every flaw, even minor ones.
Describing wear honestly
Write the approximate number of wears and name the flaws (marked sole, slight yellowing). Honesty costs a few euros but avoids a full refund later.
Packaging and shipping costs
A pair often weighs more than a kilo: keep the box when possible, otherwise compress it into a suitable parcel. An oversized box pushes you into the next shipping price bracket and puts buyers off.

Frequently asked questions
How do you price second-hand shoes?
Start from the price of identical pairs sold recently, then adjust based on visible wear to the sole and interior.
Should you sell with the original box?
Yes when possible: it reassures buyers, protects the item during shipping and justifies a higher price.
How do you avoid a dispute over trainers?
Photograph the sole, the inside of the heel and every flaw, and mention how many times they were worn in the description.
Do shoes sell well on Vinted?
Yes, it's one of the most searched categories, especially mainstream-brand trainers in good condition.
