Selling Football Boots in Ireland: Sole Type, Size Labels and Stud Condition
Prepare football-boot listings with clear size labels, verified sole information, outsole photographs and honest notes about wear, repairs and included accessories.
A football-boot ad should help the buyer identify the pair and judge its actual condition. Size labels, sole markings and photographs of wear are more useful than saying the boots were expensive when new. Clean them according to the manufacturer's guidance before taking photographs, then describe what remains.
Identify the pair and labelled sizes
Record the brand, model where known and all useful size labels. State whether both boots are the same version and size. Do not convert sizes from memory when the manufacturer's markings are available.
Explain the sole type using the product marking or verified model information. A photograph of the studs can help identification, but it does not establish suitability for every playing surface. Let the buyer check the requirements of their intended pitch and the manufacturer's guidance.
Show the areas buyers cannot see from above
Photograph both outsoles, heels, toes, fastening points and inner labels. Show stud wear, cracks, separated soles, torn lining and previous repairs. Include each boot rather than using one as a representative image of the pair.
Describe odour or cleaning needs honestly. Do not call the boots unworn because they were used for only one session. A short period of use can still leave wear or damage worth showing.
Explain removable parts and changes
If the boots have removable components, state which ones are included and identify replacements where known. Do not fit uncertain studs or improvise a repair simply to make the pair look complete. Missing laces, insoles or other parts belong in the description.
A personalised name or number should be disclosed. Keep unrelated private information out of the background and avoid using a child's team photograph as the main selling image. The offer concerns the boots, not the person who previously wore them.
Compare the actual condition and handover cost
Look at comparable model, size and wear rather than the highest current price for the brand. A carry bag or original box may be useful, but neither removes the need to explain worn soles or repaired uppers.
If posting, weigh the packed pair and agree the charge privately before promising delivery. For collection, allow the buyer to inspect the condition without implying a performance or injury-prevention guarantee.
