Returns & Exchanges

Have you tried our tricks below?

Forefoot padding

A little roomy or too snug?

Never fear, the Fit Kit is here! Secure the fit by adding the green forefoot padding under the orange footbed. Give yourself extra wiggle room by replacing the original footbed with the thinner footbed.

Gel Spots

Have a few ouchy areas?

Stick our magic Gel Spots on to any areas of the shoe that are rubbing to speed up the wearing in process.

Gel Inserts

Too roomy in your heels?

Well, space is good! We promise after a long day/night, you'll thank us for the extra wriggle room. The leather will soften, mould to your foot and fill in any of that initial gapping. If you still have too much space, these nifty removable inserts will do the trick!

Returns & Exchanges FAQs

Returns Policy

We'll always do our best to find your dream shoes, but in some cases, they’re just not quite right or maybe you've changed your mind.

We'll offer an exchange, store credit or refund for any items purchased at full price and are returned in as-new condition within 60 days of purchase.

We'll also happily exchange or offer a store credit (for the amount paid) for sale items or items purchased at a discount and returned in as-new condition within 60 days of purchase. If it's after 60 days we'd still like to help if we can, so please call or email us for a chat.

If a shoe is purchased as 'Final Sale', the sale is final. No exchanges or returns will be accepted.

Full Price Returns

We'll offer an exchange, store credit plus a bonus US$50 or refund for any items purchased at full price and are returned in as-new condition within 60 days of purchase.

How Can I Exchange My Shoes?

We’ll happily send you a second (or third!) pair so you can compare sizes or styles and try the different fitting options our fitting packs allow.

We will cover the cost of postage on additional pairs and the return. However, please keep in mind, any applicable customs duties or taxes, are at your expense. If you have any fitting or shipping queries before placing your order, please live chat, call us on +613 9509 5771 or email info@baredfootwear.com. We’ll do our best to help!

How Can I Return My Shoes?

If your shoes aren’t quite right, we’ll happily cover the return cost. Simply reach out to us on Live Chat or email us at info@baredfootwear.com and we will provide the return documents and instructions.

Once we receive your shoes at Bared HQ, we’ll process a refund (only available on full-priced purchases) OR offer you a store credit (for the amount paid) and add a bonus AU$25 to it for any full-priced purchase. If you purchased your shoes at a discounted or sale price, we will issue a store credit (as per our above terms). We’ll email your new receipt to you – store credits can be used in our stores or online, and they don’t expire!

If a shoe is purchased as 'Final Sale', the sale is final. No exchanges or returns will be accepted.

Can I Return or Exchange My Sale Purchase?

Sale purchases cannot be refunded. However, they can be returned for store credit (that never expires!) or exchanged for an alternative size of the same style and colour only. Store credits are not transferable.

Customs Duties & Taxes

Please be sure to confirm your country’s import tax and customs costs. Unfortunately, we are not responsible for any additional costs incurred. Determining the customs and duties taxes is complicated as the relevant border protection service of each country makes the final decision as to what is owed. Taxes are calculated based on your location, and the weight of your order, in addition to freight costs. Please contact your local border protection service to find out what costs may occur.

Will I Need To Pay For My Return?

No! We will cover the cost of postage on your order and any additional pairs we may have sent. If you have any fitting or shipping queries before placing your order, please live chat, call us on +613 9509 5771 or email info@baredfootwear.com.

Consumer Guarantees

Our returns policy does not affect your rights under the Australian Consumer Law and you have consumer guarantees that cannot be limited by us.

If your shoes are not of acceptable quality, not fit for their purpose or are different from the description or sample (keeping in mind leather is a natural product, and variances are entirely normal), then you may be eligible for a refund, exchange or any discount of the shoes, should you choose to keep them.

If your shoes are damaged through misuse, accident or abnormal use, the Australian Consumer Law may not apply, and Bared Footwear may not provide a refund, exchange or repair. An original proof of purchase is required before providing a remedy under the Australian Consumer Law.

Shoes marked as seconds or samples cannot be returned as that fault was identified at the time of purchase. if the seconds or samples product exhibits a fault (not related to the fault identified at the time of purchase), is not fit for purpose or is incorrectly described, it may be returned in accordance with the above consumer guarantees.

Worn or Used Shoes

Our customer service team are able to review any worn or used shoes via email or live chat, in some cases we may request the shoes to be returned to us for full assessment. All shoes must be physically returned (mail or in-store) to be processed, or images emailed to info@baredfootwear.com as a preliminary measure. Please contact us to arrange this.

Faults

We pride ourselves on the quality and materials used to manufacture our shoes, so if for whatever reason you’re not happy with their wear, please consider the following:

Within three months of purchase, we’ll repair a MINOR FAULT at no cost to you!

A minor fault is a problem that is easily fixed, such as a rubber outer sole lifting slightly or a broken lace.

Within three months of purchase, we’ll either replace or offer a refund for a MAJOR FAULT, depending on your preference.

A major fault is a problem that would have prevented you from purchasing if you’d previously known about it, such as:

  • The shoes are unsafe.
  • The shoes are significantly different from the sample or description.
  • The shoes don’t offer what we said they would, what you asked for, or can’t be easily repaired.

For all fault claims, all shoes must be assessed by a staff member. Our team will request images and/or video footage, alternatively, you're welcome to pop in-store for assessment. In some cases, we may require our cobbler to assess the shoe(s).

Any Questions?

As our customer, you’re our top priority! We’ll never leave you with shoes you don’t love. If you have any questions regarding fit, leather care, or anything footwear, just call +61 3 9509 5771, email info@baredfootwear.com or live chat with us.
