Brand new DMs not selling on Vinted

Me neither. I have ADHD but I'm also a canny skinflint which rather overrides it!

If you want to swap then for a diff size shops usually happy to do this even if over 30 days

I can’t afford to buy things and then just not send them back and let it go past the time.

Hello
they're really lovely, and I would seem to be the exception to the rule in that I would spend that money on Vinted.
I also sell the odd expensive thing on Vinted and sometimes they take a while to shift but the right buyer generally comes along at some point.
However, if you’re trying to sell your boots for essentially full price then you will probably struggle.
I would knock £20 off (and be prepared for some stupid offers).

@pinkdelight , size 8 isn't huge. It's not 'average' but it's definitely not huge.

I'm average height and wear size 5.

It’s not the same when it’s boys/men though which I’m sure you know. If anything, men feel self conscious if their shoe size is seen as small.

Yes - that is a good idea. Or even phone them and ask if they will accept a late return. I once returned something months late and the company still gave me a full refund. Obviously it is in their discretion and it may be that you only get a credit note rather than a refund, but it is definitely worth trying.

I'm talking about the boots (impersonal objects) not your feet, which I've never seen and wasn't remotely thinking of. I've got two teenage sons and the hallway is full of huge footwear. I love their feet. Their footwear is huge and I say that affectionately and will miss said giant shoes when they leave. Honestly, the ability of people to take posts on here personally when it's not about them is beyond me.

I'm an 8/9 and it's really hard to get shoes in my size brand new, I never bother to look on Vinted for them unless they're men's.

Google and see if they are out of stock everywhere rather than just the DM site, OP. If genuinely unavailable and you prioritise the amount of money then try on EBay under a heading of 'rare limited edition summer desert boot' 'sold out everywhere' and see if you get lucky? IF they can be bought from a retailer with buyer's rghts then you'll need to take the reduction in price.

Good luck.

People wanting their money back on Vinted are delusional. So many things there are cheaper from Amazon for those of us with Prime. List low, sell fast, move on.

Could try some DM collectors groups on Facebook? I had a pair of limited edition Black Sabbath 1460s that had been sold out forever, was hoping for a decent chunk of cash for them as they weren’t cheap new - sold them to a collector in a group for £80 in the end. That may help you with a price reference as the ones I had were limited/unusual and that was the final price they went for after sitting on Vinted for ages at a higher price.

Less than I’d hoped but I think they just don’t hold their value very well (and quality tanked in recent years).

This one says it’s a 6/7 (EU 40) which is probably correct as it matches lots of other search results:

https://www.healthline.com/health/average-shoe-size-for-women#by-country

That says the country comparison is given in US sizes with the UK size in the comparison chart.

The comparison chart seems to suggest the UK average in UK sizes is a 4 or 5.

My point is that even a second’s thought would have let an averagely empathetic person realise that ‘huge’ is a most unpleasant word and would be insulting.
In addition, ‘above average’ and ‘huge’ aren’t synonymous.

Whatever the reason, there is no need to put laughing emojis on. the OP is asking a genuine question and isnt arguing with anyone when they say the price is too high. It's childish and unnecessary and has caused the OP upset and confusion. As someone with ADHD that is the type of thing we dwell on, things without explanation.

Could be that too, everyone has different taste.
I baulked at the price.

I don't understand your point - if you're a woman and are above average height for a bloke, then you're agreeing with me that your feet (and the rest of you) is much bigger than most women. I'm not saying the boots are disproportionate to a body. Just that they are big boots so they'll be harder to sell than average sized boots.

I didn't laugh, but I imagine the reason people are is because you've put them up for a fiver less than what you paid for them.

That's ridiculous, people can buy direct from a reputable shop, probably with free delivery and a right of return for £5 more - I know you've dropped it since but not low enough based on others' recommendations here (but I'm not in Vinted, so what do I know?)

Also, putting laughing face emoji's is crual and unnecessary. Anyone who has done that should be absolutely ashamed of themselves for this childish and bullying behaviour. You are adults for goodness sake who should know that everyone likes different things. Ignore those people and just be happy you don't have to interact with them IRL.

I’m going to say this again because you didn’t respond earlier, OP, and I’m not sure if you saw it - try taking them to a DM store if you can get to one. They are usually really helpful and may refund you even past the online return deadline. Depends if they think they can resell them I guess, and since they are still in stock…

Dont worry about it - always really helpful when people come after the fact and point out the obvious. Of course you should have and you know that. I am ADHD and I am sure that comes into it (people don't understand around ADHD paralysis) but actually over 40% of us don't return when we should. It's annoying but don't beat yourself up. I would do FB market place personally and just get as much as you can and chalk it up to experience.

I didn't put an emoji on the picture myself but I did balk a bit when I saw it. Personal taste of course but I think people are laughing because of how they look. They are a bit uhm... different. Certainly not to everyone's taste

Even large, or big. ‘Huge’ clearly has negative overtones. Maybe it was the poster being tone deaf…

I’m a 9/10. It’s not huge. I’m above average height for a bloke, why wouldn’t my feet be that size? There are lots of us around. I sold several pairs of mine (some to men, some definitely to women) pretty quickly priced at £50, took offers but none went for less than £35.
