  • If you are returning items which you have purchased during a promotion with a free gift (e.g. Free Shoe Trees) you must return the entire order including the free gift to qualify for a full refund.
  • Seconds and samples are described as well as we can and as many key faults are shown in pictures as possible. We use the factory reasons for making the shoes seconds in our descriptions. Because of this, additional faults found by customers on these heavily discounted products will not be considered reason to reimburse further amounts.
  • Please enclose your details & the Order Number which is to be found on your email invoice. 
  • If returning from OUTSIDE the EU, please write "RETURNING GOODS TO SENDER" on the customs form and parcel itself as this will stop the parcel being subject to customs charges. If we are charged clearance fees to receive your return, we may either refuse delivery or charge the fees back to you.
