Bulky shoes like 4's need baggy
Slimmer shoes like 1's need slim/fitting

Finally got my pair off goat. Took the gamble since it was size 12.5 and I usually wear size 12 in iv’s. Couldn’t be happier with how they fit and saved me about $50-$75 from new with the price fluctuation.

Am I right in thinking that you don’t know anything about the seller and there’s no seller feedback rating?
…not to mention photos.

You are correct. Goat is who you rely on to make sure seller ships and the shoe is legit and in ds condition.

What’s the best way to clean these? I used crep cleaner on the toebox and it faded the color.

Stay away from anything liquid based. I'd try a suede/nubuck brush or kit. They usually have a little rubber-ish eraser that helps get most of the stain off.

I'd be careful with any suede/nubuck brush too. They all basically work by removing a little bit of the material. That looks fine on suede but these are not suede or nubuck and you might just end up with heavy scuffs.

No photos or communication with seller is one thing.
But I would at like to see a feedback system that lets buyers know how many transactions a seller has and how many complaints they've received.

That's not how these resell sites work.
That's how eBay works. They are the middlemen. StockX and GOAT "are" the feedback. Their reputation is why you're buying from the site. It's their responsibility to confirm authenticity, etc. from the shoes the seller sends them.

The little eraser that comes with those kits lets you control the area you're working on better. Whatever you want to call the material used for this shoe, it still operates under the same principle. Don't get it wet, use dry materials to clean.

So how many shoes does a seller have to get rejected by StockX before they're not allowed to sell their anymore?That's not how these resell sites work.

I don't know. You should check their FAQ's.
But if a pair doesn't pass inspection, StockX will just grab the next pair in your size, examine those, and ship them to you if they're deemed authentic.

Depends on the issue I'm sure. Fake vs worn would be a different level of "strike" I would have to imagine.

your thought process is incorrect. You need to think of Goat being the seller. Its their job to assure you are getting what you are purchasing. Personally i stopped using goat/stockx, bc i dont like them as a seller lol.

Goat and Stock-X are exchanges primarily, but also serve as clearinghouses. Their failure is not requiring sellers to post collateral in their latter capacity so there’s asymmetric settlement risk.
As a buyer, you can mitigate by purchasing from verified inventory (“Instant” on Goat), and the spread in prices can be thought of as the cost of insuring the settlement.
It’s dumb to me that that cost isn’t assumed by the seller… sets up moral hazard.

Seller doesn't get paid until they're authenticated. Buyer gets a refund if they fail authentication and a replacement isn't found. Not sure there's a risk to any party here.

Just the buyer if they get a fake pair that passed authentication.
...but I'm sure that never happens.
