Some people we’ve talked to cringe at the idea of second-hand shoes. We’re here to tell you it’s not that icky. Most thrift stores only accept shoes in good condition, and if you’re worried about germs, just bring some knee highs with you when you shop. Or find that spray stuff they have at bowling alleys.
We usually look for shoes that have barely been worn (minimal sole wear, minimal creases and scuffs, etc). Maybe they didn’t fit the last girl. Or maybe she wore them to a wedding, but really wasn’t into them. Whatever the reason, she’s just taken the guilt out of shoe shopping for you!
The best part about thrifted shoes is, unlike new shoes, you don’t have to worry about breaking them in. Some other lady has done that for you already. If they fit, they fit.
Here are a few of our favorite footwear finds.
