Used High Heels For Sale on 1stDibs

On 1stDibs, there are many options to choose from in our collection of used high heels. Our collection of used high heels includes a variety of colors, spanning Black, Beige, Gray and more. Making the right choice when shopping for these accessories may mean looking at versions that date from different eras — you can find early iterations from the 18th Century and newer versions made as recently as the 21st Century, all of which have proven very popular over the years. Used high heels such as these have likely been a part of the legacy of many fashion designers, but those produced by Christian Louboutin, Gucci and Valentino are consistently popular. There aren’t many items for unisex if you’re seeking these accessories, as most of the options available are for men and women.

How Much are Used High Heels?

On average, used high heels on 1stDibs sell for $500, while they’re typically $39 on the low end and $1,310,115,364,864 for the highest priced versions of these items.

Finding the Right Shoes for You

Whether they’re Hermès sandals, black Jimmy Choo boots, ivory-leather-and-pink-daisy heels by sublime shoemaker Manolo Blahnik or Christian Louboutin platform pumps, you can find your next pair of legendary luxury vintage and designer shoes today on 1stDibs.

Shoes offered by the likes of Versace, Chanel, Charles Jourdan or Prada are integral to completing your carefully orchestrated street-style or evening ensemble these days, but footwear wasn’t always the big deal it is for your average Adidas enthusiast.

The decorative floor-length gowns that upper-class women of the 18th century wore meant that their shoes, then likely featuring high curved heels finished with woven or embroidered silks — a sharp contrast to the heavy, rudimentary form of the era’s footwear for men — were partially or entirely obscured by the base of their ornate dresses. What good is fashion if it’s tucked away?

Our modern age’s legions of sneakerheads might have trouble tracking down a pair of black-and-gold vintage Jordans but can at least fill their dream closets with original Adidas Gazelles or 1980s New Balances if they put the time in, while 1990s-era Prada pumps or a good pair of mid-20th-century jewel-tone heels in satin or silk haven’t lost their allure with today’s nostalgic fashionistas.

A pair of shoes can commemorate an achievement, mark an important trip overseas and is sometimes a rich manifestation of a hard-won physical feat. On 1stDibs, find Chanel flats or two-tone heels, Christian Dior pumps, vintage Margiela Tabi boots and many more designer shoes today.

Questions About Used High Heels
  • 1stDibs ExpertJune 30, 2023
    Whether Chanel high heels are comfortable is a matter of opinion. Fit has a big impact on comfort, so refer to the official size chart for guidance when selecting heels from the French luxury fashion house and other creators. Find a selection of Chanel heels on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 13, 2024
    What open-toed high heels are called varies. A high-heeled shoe that covers nearly the entire foot save for a cutout at the toe area is a peep-toe pump or peep-toe heel. Shoes with a more open design that reveals more of the top of the foot, as well as the toe, are sandals. Shop a wide range of heels on 1stDibs.
