Buying Pre-Loved Shoes in Pakistan: What to Check Before You Order
Every pair we sell is one pair. Not one style in a run of sizes — one physical shoe, in one size, photographed as it actually is. Right now there are 2,251 pairs in stock across more than 400 brands, and 1,993 more have already sold and will not come back. That single fact changes how you should shop.
What "pre-loved" means here
Pre-loved means the shoe has been worn before. It does not mean damaged, and it does not mean unbranded. What it does mean is that every listing is unique: when a pair sells, that listing is finished. There is no restock, because there was never a second pair.
Two things follow from that, and both are worth knowing before you order:
- Your size decides what you can see. A brand you like may have forty pairs listed and none in your size. That is normal for pre-loved stock, not a sign of a thin catalogue.
- Waiting has a real cost. Nearly half of everything we have listed is already sold. If a pair fits your size and budget, it will not still be there next week.
The four condition grades
Every pair carries one of four grades, shown on the listing. The grade reflects how much wear the shoe has, and it is the main thing that moves the price:
| Grade | In stock now | Typical price | Median |
|---|---|---|---|
| Premium | 312 | Rs 5,300 – 9,500 | Rs 7,800 |
| Excellent | 1,492 | Rs 4,500 – 8,700 | Rs 7,000 |
| Very Good | 385 | Rs 3,000 – 5,500 | Rs 4,200 |
| Good | 62 | Rs 1,800 – 4,000 | Rs 3,500 |
Prices are what these grades actually sell for on our own in-stock listings, not a guideline. Ranges cover the middle band; individual pairs sit outside it depending on brand and model.
The grades run in that order, and the price gap between them is real: a Premium pair typically costs about twice what a Good pair costs. If budget matters more than cosmetic condition, Very Good is where the value sits — a fifth of our in-stock pairs, at close to half the price of Premium.
The photographs are the specification. Every listing shows the actual pair you will receive, not a stock image of the model. Whatever wear a shoe has is visible in its own photos, so look at them before you rely on the grade word alone.
How to tell a branded shoe is genuine
This is the real worry with used footwear in Pakistan, and it deserves a straight answer. We verify every pair before listing it, and if a shoe you receive is not original you get a full refund with no shipping charge. But you should know what to look at yourself, on any pre-loved purchase, from anyone:
Check these on the photos before you order
- Stitching. Genuine shoes have even, tight, consistent stitch lines. Wandering or loose stitching is the most common giveaway.
- Logo shape and placement. Compare against the brand's own product page for that model. Counterfeits get proportions and angles subtly wrong.
- Insole and size label. Printing should be crisp, correctly aligned, and consistent with the model. Blurred or off-centre printing is a warning.
- Midsole finish. Look for clean lines and no glue residue where the upper meets the sole.
- Price sanity. A pair priced far below every comparable listing is the oldest signal there is.
Wear itself is not a counterfeit signal. A creased toe box or a worn outsole is what a used shoe looks like — it tells you the shoe was worn, not that it is fake.
Getting the size right on a used shoe
The size stamped inside a shoe does not change with wear, so the normal conversions apply exactly as they would to a new pair. Use our shoe size conversion chart and calculator to convert between EU, UK, PK, USA and centimetres.
One thing does catch people out, and it is not about wear: brands disagree with each other. A Nike EU 42 is marked UK 7.5 while an Adidas EU 42 is marked UK 8. If you shop by your PK number, read which shoe brands run big or small before ordering across brands.
Every listing states that pair's own EU, PK, UK, USA and foot-length measurements. Where a brand differs from a general chart, trust the listing.
Before you place the order
- Look at all the photos. They are of the exact pair, so they are your condition report.
- Check the size line on the listing, not just the EU number in the title.
- Note the grade and what it means for price against the table above.
- Remember it is one pair. There is nothing to come back to if you wait.
Payment, delivery and returns
We deliver across Pakistan with tracking, typically in 3 to 5 business days after processing, and cash on delivery is available nationwide.
There is a 7-day return policy. If a pair is not original, or arrives damaged, you get a full refund and we cover the shipping. If you simply change your mind, returns are still accepted, with the shipping cost deducted. Full detail is on our returns and exchange policy and shipping policy.
