Michael Kors Berkley T-Strap Zipper Sandal
MICHAEL by Michael Kors · Clothing & Accessories > Women's Shoes > Sandals
Era / Decade
Early 2010s. The Berkley T-Strap was a massive 'it' shoe for the brand during the 2010-2015 period. The tag style and font are consistent with mid-range department store inventory from this time.
Material
Embossed leather (snakeskin print/texture) with metallic zipper hardware and a synthetic or leather-lined insole.
Condition
Good to Very Good. The upper looks clean with some minor creasing in the leather. The most significant wear is visible on the inner heel/insoles where the gold branding has slightly faded. The zipper appears functional.
Demand Level
Moderate. While the Berkley is a classic and has a loyal following for its comfort and ease of wear, Michael Kors has high saturation in the resale market, which drives prices down.
Resale Value
Estimated Resale Value
$25 - $45 (Low: $18, Mid: $32, High: $50 if in pristine condition with box).
Estimated Retail Value
$110.00 - $125.00 (Original retail indicated on tag as $110.00).
Comparable Sales
Recent sold listings on Poshmark for the Berkley T-Strap in similar used condition range from $22 to $38. Rare colors or NIB (New in Box) pairs can occasionally reach $60.

Key Features
Iconic MK silhouette, front-zip closure for easy entry, trendy snakeskin animal print, recognizable brand name, and versatile neutral colorway.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The tag includes the specific model name ('BERKLEY T-STR') and a UPC code (889407380775) that matches Michael Kors inventory records. Branding font on the footbed is consistent with authentic MICHAEL by Michael Kors diffusion line items.
Flaws to Note
Fading on the inner footbed logo; slight oxidation potential on the metal zipper teeth; general wear on the outsoles (not visible in photo but expected). The material is embossed leather, not genuine exotic skin, which should be noted in the listing.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Poshmark, Mercari, or eBay. These platforms are ideal for mid-range designer shoes. Facebook Marketplace is a good option for a quick local sale to avoid shipping fees.
Selling Tips
Highlight 'Comfort' and 'Easy Zip' in the title. Take a clear photo of the tread to show remaining life. Use keywords like 'Gladiator,' 'Animal Print,' and 'Snake' to improve search rankings. This style sells best in spring and early summer.
