Returns Policy

At The SoleTrader we understand that sometimes purchasing a product online can be difficult. We provide extensive information on our products to achieve the perfect fit. However if you are not 100% satisfied with your order, you can return your item(s) to our return address within 14 days of the purchase date.

In order to be eligible for a return we have 4 conditions.

The item(s) must be returned:

  • Within 14 days with your return form and invoice.
  • Item(s) must be unworn - we do not accept dirty marks, scuffs, scratches or damaged soles.
  • Item(s) must be returned in the original shoe box undamaged.
  • Customers are responsible for all return postage costs.

 

If you qualify for a return, it is your responsibility to return the product(s). However we do reserve the right to refuse the item if these conditions are not abided by. Before returning an item you may be asked to provide images of the product.

When trying on your new shoes for the first time, we suggest the following:

  • Try the shoes on carpet to avoid marks on the soles.
  • Make sure your feet are clean.
  • Wear a stocking or sock.

If we have received your return and it is found to be ineligible for a refund, we will contact you and return those items to you at your cost. A $10 postage charge will apply for Australian returns.

We will try our best to inform you of the status of your returned item. However, If you have not responded within 30 days we retain the right to discard your items.
