"Second hand boots are not recommendable as trekking footwear for a very simple reason: the soil and interior of those shoes are already moulded ad adapted to the prior user's feet, and thus, will surely be quite uncomfortable for you.
Apart from this, there are hygienic as well as maintenance reasons, like the fact that you cannot be sure on how well the materials will stand against the environmental conditions that you will find.
Used material lasts less time. It is better to buy new footwear for your treks, even despite the fact that it might be more expensive."
