If you believe your online purchase arrived with a manufacturing fault, or you received something different to your original order, we'll be happy to cover the cost of the return.

If this is the case, please contact our Customer Experience team below with as many details as possible about the order. We'll request your order/receipt number and photographs of the tongues, tops, sides, soles and fault.

We're so sorry to hear that your item is faulty. If you believe any purchased items may have manufacturing faults, please follow the below steps.

If the item is deemed faulty, our team will be able to assist you. Please note that any items purchased with PayPal cannot be returned to store. You will need to contact our Customer Experience team for a faulty assessment.*

Alternatively, if you cannot make it to your local store, you may contact our Customer Experience team below for a faulty assessment. You will be asked to provide proof of purchase as well as photographs that clearly display the fault.* 

Please do not send the faulty product back without contacting us first.
