Used Branded Shoes in Pakistan: How to Buy Online
Used branded shoes in Pakistan cost a fraction of new ones, and buying them online is safe if you check three things before you pay: the condition grade, clear photos of the soles and inside, and the size in centimetres. Much of this stock is imported used footwear that thrift sellers pick out from landa bazaars, clean and photograph.

Sell on dapxop PakistanWhere used branded shoes in Pakistan come from
Most pre-loved branded shoes sold in Pakistan arrive in bales of imported used footwear and are sold in landa bazaars in Karachi, Lahore, Rawalpindi and other cities. Small thrift sellers go through the bales, pick out the good pairs, clean them and sell them online. That sorting is what you pay a little extra for compared with digging through a stall yourself.

Condition grades: what they mean
Every pre-loved listing on dapxop has to state one of four grades, and each grade has a fixed meaning:
- New with Tags — pre-owned but never worn, with the original tags or packaging
- Like New — worn once or twice, no visible marks or damage
- Gently Used — light signs of use, no tears or broken parts
- Used — clear signs of use; any flaw is shown in the photos and described
💡 Worth knowing
For shoes, "Gently Used" usually means a little sole wear and light creasing. If a flaw matters to you, ask the seller for a close-up before ordering.
What to check in the photos
Ask for these photos if the listing doesn't already show them:
- The soles — how much tread is left, and whether the heel is worn down on one side
- The midsole — deep cracks or yellowing on white soles
- The inside — the insole, the heel lining (holes here are common) and the size label
- The toe box — creases are normal; tears or peeling are not
- The glue line — where the upper meets the sole, it should not be lifting
- Both shoes — a pair can wear differently
How to identify original shoes
There is no single test, and a used pair often comes without its box. These checks help:
- Read the label inside the tongue: original pairs usually show a style code, sizes in several systems and the place of manufacture
- Search that style code online and check the model and colour match the shoes in the photos
- Look at the stitching and logos closely; uneven stitching and blurry logos are warning signs
- Be careful with a price far below what similar used pairs sell for
⚠️ Careful here
dapxop doesn't inspect or authenticate shoes. If the pair that arrives isn't what the listing described, open a dispute within 48 hours of delivery: Wrong Item or Order Not Received? What to Do.
How to buy shoes online in the right size
Imported used shoes are labelled in UK, US and EU sizes, and the systems don't line up perfectly between brands. The surest way is centimetres:
Stand on a sheet of paper, mark your heel and longest toe, and measure the distance in cm. Then ask the seller for the insole length in cm, or check the CM size printed on the label. Leave about 1 cm for room. For football shoes, a snugger fit is normal, so check the studs and the sole plate for cracks too.
Cleaning used shoes at home
Even cleaned pairs are worth a wash of your own when they arrive:
- White shoes: mild soap and a soft brush, then a paste of baking soda and water on the soles; dry in the shade, not in direct sun, which can yellow them
- Suede: brush dry with a suede brush or a clean eraser; don't soak it
- Smell: take out the insoles, sprinkle baking soda inside overnight and air them out
