Asking for a friend - apart from fleabay where is the best place too advertise some unworn trainers which need too be moved on?

I know sales are not allowed on here so after some guidance for my friend.

TIA. Hoping mods don’t delete the post!!!!

Looks like NB have looked to the Puma RS-2k for midsole inspiration.

I use Schpock mainly (as I don't have an eBay ac) and it's worked pretty well so far. In fact most of my sales have been trainers or running shoes that I don't use. Plenty of low-ballers but I guess that's the same with any type of marketplace.

Just had my Uniqlo jeans turn up - very impressed with them, they could easily charge 4 or 5 times the price of them with a certain badge or stitching on the back pocket.

Yeah those are the ones - I’m 6ft5 so don’t think I’ll get away with wearing them turned up (electrical tape will stop any denim bleed if I can’t turn them up) but that happens with lots of jeans as the 34” inside leg always seems to be a bit of a brand lottery. As soon as I took them out of the wrapping I was praying they would fit, they’re an utter bargain.

What shoes and size are they as If they are rare/in demand would change the options of where to sell them.

I've read that they're not particularly comfortable

Are they the Numeric 574, or whatever the New Balance name is for their skate shoe line? From that photo it looks quite an elegant shape. Hopefully it feels as good on!

Think I am going to buy a pair now! No trainers on the horizon so why not!

No I wont they don't do a 30 leg, annoying even primark do a 31 or 32 waist with a 30 leg! Yes I am a short arse 5ft9 before you all start mocking wink

Most dry cleaners will do alterations, my friend is vertically challenged and has most of his shortened smile

You'd be rolling the hems to show the selvedge anyway wouldn't you? Get a 32" leg and see how it is. Easy returns process or get them adjusted.

Regarding Uniqlo selvedge, if the shops were open they alter the length for free. They normally turn them around in a few hours. Their selvedge jeans are the only ones I've been buying for the last 10+ years. Excellent value for money but the quality has inevitably gone down hill over the years, they used to do proper raw denim for around £40ish which were amazing.

No wouldn't roll the hem, could still get them adjusted just makes them nearer £50 all in and I can just buy a pair that fit elsewhere for that!
