Is it okay to buy deadstock shoes?

If you want to get a pair of deadstock shoes in pristine condition, you can always buy them, typically from retailers. However, these shoes usually come at a higher price tag. This is why lots of resellers tend to keep their shoes in the box so that they can make more money when they want to resell them.

What is considered deadstock?

Dead stock is inventory that is unsellable. A business may find itself with dead stock because it ordered or manufactured too many items and then found they didn’t sell as anticipated. Dead stock can also include damaged items, incorrect deliveries, leftover seasonal products or expired raw materials.

What is the difference between deadstock and new?

Originally used by the retailers rather than resellers, ‘deadstock’ meant stock that was brand-new but unsold. In short it was dead stock that they could not sell. The term was then used within the industry to describe new-old-stock, items which had been released a while ago but which were still kept in the box.

Do deadstock shoes fall apart?

If you keep a pair of sneakers deadstock in their box for too long, the glue will dry up and the aging process of the shoe actually accelerates when compared to a shoe that has been worn every once in a while.
