Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Poshmark, eBay, and Mercari are best. Poshmark is ideal for the 'comfort shoe' demographic, while eBay attracts buyers specifically searching for discontinued styles or orthotic needs.
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Orthotic,' 'Plantar Fasciitis,' 'Arch Support,' and 'Comfort.' Take a clear overhead photo of the footbeds and a side profile to show the arch height. Clean the microfiber footbed lightly with a suede brush or damp cloth to minimize the appearance of toe prints before photographing.
