It is important to be cautious when trying on shoes. We recommend testing the shoes on a clean floor, carpet type to avoid damaging the sole. Shoes with damaged soles will be denied for return. We reserve the right to refuse a return if all the conditions are not respected if the product has damage or for hygienic reasons. In that case, we will resend you the shoes as stated in your invoice.
