There are plenty of second hand stores (kringloop) in NL and I have been buying everything except underwear (socks,underpants,undershirts) there. I have to admit, it takes time : you will have to frequent the shops at least weekly/bi-weekly because the supply is not 'on-demand', you'll have to help your luck a bit.

I now own previously unworn Armini jeans, previously unworn Drykorn's, Scotch & Soda etc. About € 5 each. Actually I am dressed better than ever before.

Pro-tip : don't buy used shoes.

I have a very nice pair of Prada dress shoes that I bought second hand. They had been used but are in perfect condition. What is wrong with buying used shoes that are in good condition?

It depends, but if worn too much, the shoes 'mold' to the (previous) owner.

And you will feel this primarily in your knees very soon.

My Pradas are very much for being seen in on formal occasions! Walking any distance is not much fun, they weren't designed for that. And they are made of such stiff leather that I don't think they will ever be moulded to my feet. :-)
