Why the Tribute is iconic
Its concealed platform makes a very high heel genuinely walkable, which earned it a devoted following among celebrities and party-goers. The clean, strappy silhouette has stayed desirable across seasons.
What to pay pre-owned
Pre-owned Tribute sandals in the UK average around £260, typically ranging from roughly £150 to £400. Size availability and the condition of the soles and heel tips drive price most, with metallic, patent and rarer finishes commanding a premium.
Sizes & variants
Offered in various heel heights and the flat Tribute, across smooth, patent, suede, metallic and exotic leathers in many colours.

Buying a pre-owned Saint Laurent Tribute — FAQs
How should I check condition on pre-owned pairs?
For sandals, the soles and heel tips wear first, so inspect them along with the straps. Scuffed toe straps and worn heel tips reduce value and may need repair.
Do they run true to size?
Many find the Tribute fits fairly true, though the straps can stretch slightly with wear. Check the stamped size and measure the insole where possible.
Are the platforms comfortable?
The concealed platform reduces the effective pitch, making the high heel more walkable than it looks. Comfort still depends on fit and heel height.
