What is your exchange policy?
We are currently unable to facilitate exchanges. If you wish to exchange an item for another size, color or style, we recommend you return the original item and make a new purchase.
We believe the best option is to return the first order, then place a new order for the item on our website using the 10% discount code provided with the original shipment (If you’ve lost the code, please let us know, we will send you a new one).
Keeping the two orders separate reduces mistakes, increases speed for receiving the proper size, and generally saves money using the 10% discount code.
You may exchange an online order if you visit any of our Store Locations! Please call the Store before visiting, the store can confirm we have the shoes and sizes you are looking for.

Online returns dropped off at one of our store locations will be forwarded to our Online Department for return processing.
