Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Poshmark and Mercari are ideal for fashion-forward footwear. Facebook Marketplace is excellent for local sales to avoid high shipping costs due to the weight of the boots.
Selling Tips
Wipe the boots down with a damp cloth or specialized Hunter Boot Buffer to remove 'blooming' and restore the matte finish before photographing. Always include a photo of the size tag (located inside the shaft) and the sole tread to prove low wear.
