Our goal is to ensure that you are the happiest customer at all times, however, in the event that your new pair of shoes do not fit, you may return it to us for an exchange. Please keep in mind that for hygiene reasons, we cannot accept returns if the products have been worn and are no longer in a resalable condition - all original packaging needs to be intact and in its original condition.  Purchases must be returned within 7 days of delivery. The items are your responsibility until they arrive at our office. All return costs are on your own account.

Orders cancelled after manufacturing has taken place will incur a  10% cancellation fee on the value of the goods.

It is your responsibility to notify us when you have returned the shoes, which method, and any tracking information (i.e. the courier company and waybill number). The return is your responsibility until it is returned to us and we are not liable for any loss or delay if communication has not been submitted to us.
