You have 14 days from the date you receive your order to return your item to us for a refund.

1
Contact Us
Email Help@thesolestore.co.uk with your order number and reason for return. We will confirm your return request and send you instructions.
2
Package Your Return
Items must be returned in their original, unused condition with all tags, labels, and packaging intact. This includes our security tag, which should still be attached. Footwear must be returned in the original branded shoe box, which must not be used as the outer shipping box.
3
Ship It Back
Send the item to our returns address (provided in your return confirmation email). We recommend using a tracked and insured delivery service, as we cannot be held responsible for items lost in transit.
4
Receive Your Refund
Once we receive and inspect the returned item, we will process your refund within 5-7 working days. Refunds are issued to the original payment method used at checkout.

Our Security Tag

Every pair leaves us with a security tag fitted. It goes on after the pair has passed inspection and immediately before it is boxed, and it is your proof that the pair you received is the pair we checked. The seal locks closed and cannot be refitted once cut.

Please leave the tag attached

The tag is fitted so that you can still try the pair on indoors. Please leave it attached until you are certain you are keeping them.

If a pair is returned with the tag removed or cut, we cannot confirm that it is the pair we dispatched or that it has not been worn outdoors. Where that is the case we may reduce your refund to reflect the diminished value of the item, and we will always tell you before we do so.

This does not apply to faulty, damaged, or incorrect items. Your rights in those circumstances are unaffected by the tag. More about the tag.

Return Conditions

To be eligible for a full refund under our 14-day policy, items should meet the following conditions:

Full Refund

Unworn, unused, and in original condition. Our security tag still attached. All original tags, labels, and accessories present. Original branded packaging included and undamaged. Returned within 14 days of delivery.

Reduced or Refused

Items that have been worn outdoors, used, washed, or altered. Security tag removed or cut. Manufacturer tags or labels removed. Packaging missing or damaged. Items returned after 14 days, unless faulty.

Footwear note: Shoe boxes are considered part of the product. Please do not use the branded shoe box as the outer shipping box. Place it inside a separate outer box or bag for transit to protect it from damage.

Refund Details

Refund Method Refunds are issued to the original payment method used at checkout (Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, Klarna, Apple Pay, etc.).
Processing Time 5-7 working days from receipt and inspection of the returned item.
Bank Processing Your bank or payment provider may take an additional 3-5 working days to reflect the refund in your account.
Klarna Refunds If you paid via Klarna, your outstanding balance will be adjusted accordingly. Any instalments already paid will be refunded to your original payment method.
Partial Refunds If a returned item shows signs of use, wear, or damage beyond reasonable inspection, or is returned with the security tag removed, we reserve the right to issue a partial refund reflecting the diminished value. We will notify you before processing any partial refund.
Shipping Costs For change-of-mind returns, original shipping costs are non-refundable unless the entire order is returned. For faulty or incorrect items, all costs including original shipping are refunded in full.

Exchanges

Due to the limited-availability nature of many of our products, we cannot guarantee that an alternative size, colour, or style will be in stock for a direct exchange.

We recommend returning the item for a refund and placing a new order for the product you require, subject to availability. If you would like to check stock before returning, contact us at Help@thesolestore.co.uk and we will check for you.

Returns Address

Please do not send returns without contacting us first. Once your return is approved, we will provide the returns address and any additional instructions. Unapproved returns may be refused or delayed.

To start a return, email Help@thesolestore.co.uk with your order number.
