What to Check When Buying Second Hand Shoes in Person

  1. The Outsole: Check tread pattern. Uneven wear means the shoe's gait is off.
  2. The Insole: Pull it out. If compressed and has lost cushioning, you'll need a replacement.
  3. The Heel Counter: Squeeze the back. If collapsed, the shoe has lost structural support.
  4. The Upper: Check for cracks on leather, tears on mesh near the toe box.
  5. Smell Test: Trust your nose. Deep-set odors are permanent.
  6. Brand Markers: Nike's swoosh should be cleanly stitched, Adidas stripes even, ASICS has specific gel patterns. Read our full guide on spotting fake Nike shoes to protect yourself.
