Second Hand Clothes

It is very easy to find great and new clothes at second hand stalls so long as you put attention to details, have a great eye, how to bargain and the mental resilience to navigate crowd places. Make sure that they're made with breathable material such as leather or cotton and not plastic
  1. Kamukunji
There is no particular stall that I would recommend, but stalls are lined up. Shoes to find include slip-ons, MaryJanes, Kid sneakers, slip on shoes, strapped sandals or little tiny boots and many others. It's advisable to visit many stalls for a price and quality comparison
  1. Muthurwa Market
Here you'll find great sneakers, tiny slippers, slip-ons and great socks to accompany the shoes. In addition you may also find other inner wears for your infant such as vests.
Tip: If you are not a fan of crowd, you need to prepare yourself beforehand. It is also advisable to wear casual clothes that won't attract a hike in prices from the sellers. After all, you are going to have to bargain your way out of all the items you are buying.  It can also get quite muddy when it rains, you should arm yourself with boots or disposable shoes.
  1. Toi Market
Toi market shopping is a bit more expensive compared to other second hand markets. Their items are also more quality and it's possible to find new items as well.
Shoes that can be found here are; Slip-ons, MaryJanes, tiny moccassins, and walking sneakers secured with laces.
Tip: Wear casual clothes or less expensive clothes to avoid inflating the prices. Traders can inflate the prices by judging you based on how you're dressed.
