A pre-owned pair of Manolos is one of the best deals in designer shoes. The build is the same, the heel is the same, and the price is often a fraction of new. Here is what the pairs we carry are asking right now.

What moves the price
- The style. Boots ask the most, especially fur, fringe and over-the-knee pairs. Classic pumps and slingbacks are usually the easiest way in.
- The soles. Look closely at the soles and heel tips. Light wear is normal. Worn-through tips mean a trip to the cobbler, so price that in.
- The size. Manolo sizes are European. Common sizes sell fast. Very small or very large sizes can be cheaper.
- The material. Fur, fringe, prints and exotic textures ask more than plain leather.
How to check what it actually sold for
Asking prices are a starting point. Sold prices are the truth. Before you buy or make an offer, run this check.
- Search the piece on eBay with the brand, the model name and the colour.
- Switch on the Sold items filter. The prices in green are what people actually paid.
- Match condition and size as closely as you can. Three to five close matches beat one perfect one.
- Add shipping to both sides. A cheap piece with $40 postage is not a cheap piece.
If the sold prices sit well below the ask, you have a case for an offer. If they sit near it, the listing is fairly priced and a small offer is the most you should try.
Where the value is
Classic pumps and slingbacks. They are the pairs that wear every week, and they sit near $354 in the middle. Boots are the investment. Buy them for the style, and check the lining and zip before you pay.
