girl - CONVERSE!! they don't always sell for a lot, maybe not even quite $35 depending on the type. i usually find the low cut chuck taylors. BUT whenever i list converse they get a ton of attention and they sell FAST. i can always find pairs at the bins too. quick flip and consistent seller.
I’ve sold a lot of vionic. They are the only shoes I wear this past year , so my eye picks them out quickly on the shelf. My store hasn’t figured out that they are expensive yet. Great video!
Loved this video and all of your videos honestly💕 Found a pair of brand spanking new Brooks running shoes for $5 and sold the very next day for $60. As someone who sells mainly my personal stuff, it was the highlight of my week lol✨
Please KEEP IN MIND that whatever does good for someone is not the same for someone else. I have tried selling brands that she mentioned and it took FOREVER to sell. Crocs, Keens, and Vionic. I rarely pick those up anymore. I had a new in box Vionics and they took 1 YEAR to sell and kind of low. I don't pick those up anymore. Always always check comps and sell thru rate.
I've just decided to concentrate more on selling shoes. I researched the brands and know that I can make better money. I do sell Puma quite fast. Thanks for your great video!
I found some Crocs “Mary Janes” and today and some Sketchers “Mary Janes” at Goodwill for $4.99 each. I had no idea they made them. Comps look great too. Great info Becky!! I always learn so much from you. Thank you!!
Awesome info! I came across some Torrid shoes recently in a size 12, buy cost was $4 per pair. They weren’t boots but they were chunky heels…. They all sold extremely quickly for around $30. These larger sizes were mostly purchased by men for drag outfits… I loved giving them a good deal! Very large size women shoes sell well if they fit into the drag aesthetic. 👍
Vionic was recommended by my orthopedic doctor. It is now the only brand of shoe I wear! It made a huge difference to my knees! I was so surprised to hear it mentioned here
One more tip.I am a tall person at 6’2” and anything 5X or 2x plus size that looks awesome is hard to find.I snatch that stuff up for myself as there are few brands that make things in big,big girl sizes.
This video was great !! I am the person who stands in front of the shoes like a deer 🦌 in headlights . Ultimately walking away with nothing . This video will help me SO MUCH!! Thank you 😊
The first time I tried my hand at retail arbitrage was with Steve Madden. It was a bag, tho, I went to a Marshall's in a wealthier area than where I live and got a steve madden bag for $17. I decided to use it for a few weeks since I really liked it, but decided to list it for $35 to see what would happen. It sold within a week! I haven't done a ton of arbitrage since and I haven't tried my hand at Steve Madden shoes but I'll have to!Same with Nine West, I always thought they wouldnt sell but I picked up a super cute pair of heels at the thrift and they sold for a little under $30! Thanks for the tips Becky!
I have sold many Vionic. So many times the size tag is worn off, so they end up in the yard sale box. My advice on Vionic is to do a "stress test" where the straps meet the outsole. Many times I have gone to list and on further inspection they are falling apart. Keens are the same way.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE selling (and wearing) Vionic! They sell well, relatively quick, and for good money. Shoes are my best seller, Vionic being #1, but Clark’s is a close second.
I literally just picked up a pair of Vionic at Goodwill! They were pink tag so happened to only be $1.49!!! I had never even heard of them but because they were so cheap and pretty cute I grabbed them. They're a black leather chunky block heel sandal/mule with an ankle strap and buckle, in perfect condition! Comps are AMAZING! I'm excited to list them and hopefully make a good profit. Thanks for the helpful video as always! 🙏🏼💕
The cool thing is Keen has the size chart on Google with inches and centimeters, but yes that is so annoying when the tiny little sneaker escapes. Thanks for the cool and informative video Becky!
I have plantars, pronation of the feet, and fallen arches. Vionics are the TRUTH! And...their styles are great instead of stereotypical orthopedic shoes. Love them!!
Last summer I found four pair of Vionic in amazing condition for $3.00 each! You can bet I grabbed them and they did not sit in my closet very long! Looking forward to rummage sale season coming soon!!!
Dansko ~ YES! I have sold dry rot Dansko and didn’t know. I was shocked. I personally wear a lot of Dansko and Sanita clogs. After a dry rot refund I I thought the person was trying to scam me and then 8 months later it happened to me! So sad.
i used to thrift for shoes as well around 2019 to 2021 and yep, vionic, keen sell super well. it was always a struggle to sell women's heels, i assume you've noticed this as well. my ex-wife ended up just falling in love with the product too much and then you have a hoarding situation
You really are the best teacher! It’s your god given gift! I’ve just recently started picking up shoes, I found some brand new Gianni bini boots in a size 5 and they sold for $55! I also love selling free People boots! I’m in Atlanta, GA and have also had the privilege of going to the Anthropologie/free people outlet in Augusta, they have some nice shoes but you have to pay up a little. We don’t have a bins near Atlanta that I know of unfortunately
I live in the cold part of America that gets a lot of snow.I have a pair of sorrels that I have had for 15 years plus and I never liked them and I bought them used.The leather is still fantastic and they are waterproof still with no leaks.Pick them up if you see them.
Great shoe video. I learned a lot about brands I would not have looked for. Your videos are very informative and user friendly for me as a senior citizen-who desire to begin online selling. I’m totally inspired. Thank you so much Becky.
So HELPFUL! Thanks for all the information. I'm kicking myself for selling some "weird" heel Crocs for $20 when I first starting reselling. I guess you don't know what you don't know. Thanks again for all the content!
Ah, those platform slide ons! I remember having a pair of Black Rocketdog sandal 🩴 when I was in 9th grade 😂 I’m 5 ft flat so i was happy when I seen those. You know, platform shoes are making a come back. I’ve been seeing them a lot lately.
I would throw Spenco’s in the mix. They’re a great orthotic brand and sold on QVC mainly. I feel like people who have worn Spenco’s stick with them because of how comfortable they are.
Yes- I personally love Birkies- they were the beginning of my journey to maintain comfy shoes & feet. I should think that if Birkies wrre in good shape, they ought to sell … not sure about the 35$ min….
@@retiredandsassy Yes, especially their booties. I had what I I thought to be an ugly pair of laser cut sandals and those even sold (for a little lower price though).
I just started part time reselling and a couple of months ago and have listed Sam Edelman twice, and both times it sold within like a week. I already love it.
Just a note to say I’ve watched you frequently over the last year and really appreciate all the work you put into them. I also admire how authentic you are! Great show on tips BTW.
I have always sold Clarks & Nine West well. Unfortunately my source just dried up as the price has skyrocketed since Christmas. Imagine selling brands like Italian Shoemakers sandals for $16? Not even leather. It’s all so crazy. I’ll be checking out garage sales this summer for sure!
Thank you for all the good branding, and especially, trending/keyword information. I feel like, even if I can’t find quality branding, at least I can find a style than I’m able to boost with good keywords. Awesome job!
You had some really good information but I disagree with a ladies' size 10 being unusual. It's become a fairly common size. For the record I have Dansko heeled sandals that I worked in on my feet all day and they really are very comfortable shoes.
@@beckyparkco in all my years of reselling & thrift shopping for myself I have never once found a pair of Aatrex at a thrift store and very seldom at a consignment shop or yard sale.
We have sold New Balance wide width shoes for $60-80, some EEEE. I know the 990's are a BOLO style but ours were 1340, what I call Peepaw shoes. Our best selling shoe brands by far have been Adidas and Crocs.
Thank you for your video. As far a Keen go... They are made in Louisville KY so that may be why you are finding so many. We find a lot of them in our area (Lexington KY) :)
i bought some vionics that didn't have the foam insert inside, which i didn't even know that was a thing and the buyer returned them. and that's understandable, something to look out for. and yeah, size matters - a size 5 or 10 womens shoe is pretty useless, regardless of condition or brand
Love this kind of content! Shoes kinda’ intimidate me. My first shoe sale was a keen, just picked up another. Also sold a Dansko and random comfort shoe. Been sitting on NWT Tom’s but the right season is getting here!

I really appreciate all the effort you put into your videos. Your content is timely and informative, and I sure do love how you get through A LOT of information quickly yet succinctly. Before I watched your video today I checked out a couple done by other RUclipsrs, and wow, they just couldn't compare to you.

It seems some don’t have much to share but they feel the need to do a long video anyway and just babble on. LOL. Like me right now. Seriously, you are fantastic! Thanks so much for all your hard work. Wishing you continued success.
Omg. I sooo agree with you 💯. Then they talk about everything else except what they say they will talk about! And slowly. I'll keep saying ok ok who cares just tell me the good information. Lol
I sold a pair of MBT shoes and they fell apart on the buyer just like the one you showed. Sent a refund, didn't even do a return. Great info! I am always on the look out for European shoes and the comfort shoes.

Teva flip flops! I grab them at the bins for nothing, and usually sell them fast for $20-25.

I swear by my Spenco’s. I’ve never sold them, but I love wearing them. I have no arches in my feet, and they have incredible support.
Spenco is respected in the podiatric field, I believe…. Sold alongside other top brands. Also Propet? I’ve never owned either of them.
Crazy interesting video! You’re a wonderful teacher, thank You 😊
Thank you for all that shoe info. I did get my notebook out and was sorry I didn't remember my high-school Shorthand when taking notes, lol.
So informative!!! Already have a hundred pair and storage is an issue!! 😂😂😂
Loved this video!!!✨
Here in LA, we have a plethora of Birkenstock, Steve Madden, Converse, and Nike/Adidas!
Oh Vionic is amazing! Quick flips!
Yes - I love hearing what other people find more readily in their areas!
You guys are so lucky!
Yes- I personally love Birkies- they were the beginning of my journey to maintain comfy shoes & feet. I should think that if Birkies wrre in good shape, they ought to sell … not sure about the 35$ min….
I’m adding VANS, CONVERSE, SOREL & DOC MARTENS to the list ☺️
Great video!
😀😀
Merrell sells well for me!
By far my best selling shoes (just under $35 for around $30) are Torrid shoes. Doesn’t matter what kind they are. Thanks for the tip about Nike.
I need to research Torrid shoes, was not aware they made anything other than clothing
@@retiredandsassy Yes, especially their booties. I had what I I thought to be an ugly pair of laser cut sandals and those even sold (for a little lower price though).
Shoes are my favorite thing to resell. I live in a small town too. We don’t even have “ the bins” have to get creative to find inventory

Love selling Vionic, brooks and on running shoes ! All sell well and fast , get them is great condition of course 😉 great video girl !
I have worn nothing but Vionic for years due to my plantar fasciitis. They are so wonderful but very expensive brand new! Love!
Thanks for sharing! And yes - Vionic is SO expensive retail.
I needed this today!!! Told my family I needed some time with Becky!
Increasing our competition measurably
I found some crocs boat shoes for $4 at my local Savers and they sold in 4 hours for $88!!
I have been surprised at how many Uggs sorel I have found in stale sorted through bins.
Oh I think I had Sketchers heels in the 90s!! Haven’t thought about those in a long time. Thanks for the memories 🤣
My friend wore white ones under her wedding dress with white Lacey socks 😂 😂
Under Armour, Inkkas, Van's all sell really good for me.
Mini Melissa's in the cute styles like the donut and the ice cream sell hot and fast!
this was so great!!! Wouldn't change a thing. I've been selling shoes for years, and you're spot on with all your observations and tips!
Just found you today, your videos are so informative! I'm just starting out, your videos are full of so much helpful info. Thank you!
Shoe crumbling is hydrolysis of the PU (synthetic) material. Caused mostly by moisture vapor (humidity).
