BRC X eBay Pre Loved Partnership Programme
We are excited to announce the launch of Second Stride, our new resale platform, making high-quality repaired and refurbished second hand footwear and apparel more accessible than ever for consumers and brands.
At The Boot Repair Company (BRC), we have seen first-hand the impact of waste in the fashion industry, and are on a mission to reduce, reuse, and repair wherever possible, keeping products out of landfills.
Simplifying Second Hand
Second Stride brings cobbling into the 21st century. Teaming up with eBay through their Pre-Loved Partnership Programme has allowed us to build a new type of footwear resale experience. Customer's can buy top quality repaired and refurbished items from some of the world’s leading brands, all at a discounted price.
From repairing boots for the Ministry of Defence and the Queen’s Guard, to being the authorised repair partner for many major global brands, we repair and refurbish well over one hundred thousand pairs of shoes a year. Second Stride, combines our craftsmanship with a modern resale model, offering customers a selection of pre-loved, professionally restored footwear and apparel that are built to go the distance.
Our aim with Second Stride is to make it simple for big and small footwear brands alike to offer resale as part of their sustainable journey. If you're a huge blue-chip that wants to pilot a resale model, or a small start up that can't dedicate the resource to building your own platform, Second Stride is here to make it as easy as possible to get something off the ground. All you need is a supply of faulty and broken shoes, and we do the rest.
This platform would not be possible without the trust and collaboration of our partners eBay and eManaged who are joining us on this journey.
We proudly help brands commit to circularity one step at a time, while customers have more options to buy refurbished at a discount.
