You do not need a big budget to wear good sneakers. Preloved shoes under Rs. 3,000 or Rs. 5,000 can be great value if you know what to look for.
What a budget buys
At lower prices you will mostly see Grade B, C and D pairs. These carry visible wear, but a good seller describes every flaw so nothing surprises you. See what each grade means on our condition grading page.
Brands that often fit a budget
- Converse Chuck Taylor and Vans Old Skool
- Adidas Superstar and Stan Smith styles
- Nike running shoes such as the Revolution and Pegasus lines
- Older New Balance models
Smart tips for budget buyers
- Check the sole: worn tread matters more than a scuffed upper
- Look at the cushioning: compressed midsoles are fine for errands, less so for long runs
- Use measurements: a cheap pair that does not fit is no bargain. See our size chart.
- Pay on delivery: inspect before you pay. See how it works.
The cheapest options
Grade D pairs are the lowest-priced and are good for the gym, errands and rough use. They are not for you if you want something that looks new.
