Refund and Exchange Policy

Finding Your Perfect Fit
You heard that right. We understand that finding the perfect shoe size online can sometimes be a challenge. That's why we offer a straightforward exchange policy to ensure your shoes fit perfectly. It's simple contact us within 7 days and we will arrange a swap for you*.

How It Works:

• Eligibility: If your new shoes don’t fit well, you can exchange them for another size under the following conditions:
  • Condition of Shoes: Shoes must be unused, unworn, and in the same pristine condition as when they arrived. We recommend trying them on a carpeted surface to avoid any wear marks.
  • Packaging: Must be returned in the original packaging with all labels still attached.
  • Time Frame: You have 21 days from the date of purchase to initiate an exchange.
  • Item Type: This exchange policy does not apply to sale items or purchases made with a discount or affiliate code. In these cases, only a credit note will be issued, not an exchange.

Procedure for Exchange:

• Contact Us: Reach out to us at support@soleshoesnz.com with your order details and the size you wish to receive instead.
• Send It Back: Return the ill-fitting shoes to us at the following address:
  • Sole Shoes Ltd
  • PO Box 163070
  • Lynfield
  • Auckland 1443
  • New Zealand
• Shipping Cost: Please note that return shipping fees are your responsibility.

Upon Receipt:

• Inspection: Once we receive and inspect the shoes, ensuring they meet the return condition criteria, we will process your size exchange.
• Replacement Dispatch: We will ship the new size to you as soon as possible.

Additional Notes:

• Limitations: Only one exchange is permitted per purchase. If you find the second pair still doesn’t fit, a store credit will be issued instead of another exchange.
• Communication: We will keep you updated via email throughout the process. From confirmation of your exchange request to notification when the new size is dispatched.
