Pickup Eyrewell Forest or post at your cost

I have 5 pairs of donated ASICS netball shoes to sell.
These sell for hundreds in the stores.

They are all the same size and in good used condition. I have kept a couple of pairs (there are 5 pairs left for sale) for myself. I am a sz 9. I have also included a photo showing the sizing of one pair. All shoes were donated by one person so are the same size.

See photos. Offers wanted. May sell separately or as one lot. If interested please post a reply or message me or text 02040641485 and let me know which pair(s) you are interested in. Might be a great way for one or more people to start this season with some top brand shoes at a great price

I am not an expert on netball shoes but I know the person who donated these personally and can assure you that:

She only buys top quality stuff
She used to play a grade netball so I am pretty sure she knows good netball shoes
She keeps her clothing and shoes well maintained and replaces them often (hence why she had 7 or 8 pairs to donate from one season!)so these shoes are well looked after and have probably had minimal use.

I also have a pair of cream leather guess brand sandals that I can post a photo of if anyone wants some sandals at this time of year!

These will be posted on Trademe or similar marketplaces if not sold here in the next few days.

All proceeds go towards care of rescued ducks at North Canterbury Duck Rescue (Facebook.com/uninhibitedducks)

We want March to be all about celebrating the connections we have while making new ones along the way. As we all know, what makes a neighbourhood great isn’t the houses and cars, gardens and streets - it’s the people who share their presence and aroha with each other.

A wonderful way to take part is to participate in Neighbours Day Aotearoa which takes place from 27 March - 5 April. This year’s theme is ‘Small Things Make a Big Difference’ - we couldn’t agree more!

Let us know how you’re celebrating by email or tag us online and include the following hashtag:
