How it works

How It Works

Unpaired is a specialized marketplace for single and unpaired footwear. Whether you’re buying or selling, the process is designed to be simple, transparent, and efficient.

For Buyers

1. Browse by Category

Shop unpaired footwear by category, including:

  • Women’s
  • Men’s
  • Children’s
  • Featured listings

Each product clearly indicates whether it is a left shoe, right shoe, or intentionally unpaired.

2. Review the Listing Carefully

Every product listing includes:

  • Shoe side (left or right)
  • Size and condition
  • Photos of the exact item
  • Seller-provided details and notes

Because inventory on Unpaired is unique, availability is limited to what you see listed.

3. Place Your Order

Add the item to your cart and check out securely.
Once your order is confirmed, the seller is notified to prepare shipment.

4. Shipping & Delivery

Sellers ship directly to you using tracked shipping.
Delivery times vary by seller and location and are provided at checkout.

For Sellers

1. Apply to Sell

All sellers must apply before listing on Unpaired. This helps maintain quality and consistency across the marketplace.

2. Create Your Listings

Once approved, sellers can list unpaired footwear with:

  • Clear identification of left/right shoe
  • Accurate sizing and condition
  • Photos of the actual item being sold

Each listing is reviewed before going live.

3. Ship When Sold

When an item sells, the seller is responsible for packaging and shipping the order promptly using the provided shipping details.

4. Get Paid

Sellers are paid out after the order is completed, according to Unpaired’s seller payout schedule and terms.

Important Things to Know

  • All sales are final unless otherwise stated in our Refund Policy.
  • Each item listed on Unpaired is unique and may not be replaceable.
  • Sellers are responsible for accurate descriptions and timely fulfillment.
  • Buyers are encouraged to review listings carefully before purchasing.

Why Unpaired Is Different

Traditional marketplaces are built for pairs.

Unpaired is built for real-world needs — replacement shoes, medical requirements, sustainability, and intentional mismatching.

By focusing on a single purpose, Unpaired makes it easier for buyers to find what they need and for sellers to reach the right audience.
