Trade-in will always give you a higher amount than Direct Sale.

Direct Sale - our simplest and most popular option. We purchase your shoes directly from you for 'cash'.

Trade-in - best if you have your eye on another pair of shoes and would like sell a pair of your own shoes quickly that you no longer use.

Consignment - best if you are looking for the maximum amount for your shoes and don't mind waiting for them to sell on our website. Also best for selling large collections of shoes.
