Refund and Exchange Policy

"If the Shoe Doesn’t Fit, Swap It!" Exchange Policy


Finding Your Perfect Fit
You heard that right. We understand that finding the perfect shoe size online can sometimes be a challenge. That's why we offer a straightforward exchange policy to ensure your shoes fit perfectly. It's simple contact us within 7 days and we will arrange a swap for you*.

How It Works:

  • Eligibility: If your new shoes don’t fit well, you can exchange them for another size under the following conditions:
    • Condition of Shoes: Shoes must be unused, unworn, and in the same pristine condition as when they arrived. We recommend trying them on a carpeted surface to avoid any wear marks.
    • Packaging: Must be returned in the original packaging with all labels still attached.
    • Time Frame: You have 21 days from the date of purchase to initiate an exchange.
    • Item Type: This exchange policy does not apply to sale items or purchases made with a discount or affiliate code. In these cases, only a credit note will be issued, not an exchange.

Procedure for Exchange:

  • Contact Us: Reach out to us at support@soleshoesnz.com with your order details and the size you wish to receive instead.
  • Send It Back: Return the ill-fitting shoes to us at the following address:
    • Sole Shoes Ltd
    • PO Box 163070
    • Lynfield
    • Auckland 1443
    • New Zealand
  • Shipping Cost: Please note that return shipping fees are your responsibility.

Upon Receipt:

  • Inspection: Once we receive and inspect the shoes, ensuring they meet the return condition criteria, we will process your size exchange.
  • Replacement Dispatch: We will ship the new size to you as soon as possible.

Additional Notes:

  • Limitations: Only one exchange is permitted per purchase. If you find the second pair still doesn’t fit, a store credit will be issued instead of another exchange.
  • Communication: We will keep you updated via email throughout the process. From confirmation of your exchange request to notification when the new size is dispatched.

Customer photo review of Serenity Split-Toe Leather Sandal Nude

I bought the black pair first and love them so much, I got the other colour too. Heavier than a normal jandal, but very dressy.

Customer photo review of Aria Flat Mule White

I love these mules. Purchased my first pair over 18 months. I wear them all the time (including on holiday in Europe) and they are still in perfect condition - comfortable and effortlessly stylish. Excited to rock a new pair in a different colour.

Customer photo review of Viper Red Ankle Boot

I ordered these boots on a Sunday night as an impulse buy. The arrived on my doorstep on Tuesday morning - I'm rural so that's super fast delivery! I received several emails regarding the dispatch of my order which was great customer service. On arrival I opened the box to the most stunning beautiful boots & they're leather! They are a perfect height to make walking easy but are high enough to give a fabulous glamorous look to the boots. I'm so happy with my purchase. Can't wait to wear them & I'll be buying more shoes in the near future.

These sandals are so comfy! Very unusual to put on any shoe for the first time and for it to feel so soft and comfortable like a pair of slippers 🀣🀣

Customer photo review of Bianca Platform Sandal Nude

I seriously can’t get over how comfortable these heels are! I love heels, but hardly ever wear them as the balls of my feet get so sore, but I’ve worn these out a few times now and danced the night away with 0 pain! Love love love them

Customer video review of Zen Leather Slides Cream

Loving these slides Zen leather slides from Sole Shoes πŸ’—πŸŒΈ

Zen Leather Slides Cream

These are gooooorgeous boots and I got them for a steal but, they are not suitable if you have a bigger calf. I am having them altered because they're "to die for" but I cant pull them up over my calf. The inner is leather so I hope they will give a bit but the opening of the boot cannot cope with my calf at 40cm

Silver Rhinestone Leather Knee-High Boots – Dixie

Was surprised to be asked to review after total debacle. Shoes arrived in the wrong colour. All that β€œquality control” before despatch didn’t happen this time. Emailed, no response, emailed again, no response. Messaged on FB, finally an email back. Admonished for messaging more than necessary because apparently the automated message tells me it will be 5 days to get a reply! Really? Never received any automated reply. Of course, my size in correct colour is now sold out! Just as well, I would not deal with this business again. I returned shoes, at their cost. Eventually was notified they had received them and a refund would be forthcoming within ten days! Dear me, I thought it was 2026, not 1985. Received refund, brought shoes from Repertoire, correct colour, perfect, thank you.

Full Leather Slide Sandals – Twist Slide

Absolutely love these heels! The fit is true to size, they’re surprisingly comfortable, and the quality feels really premium. The color is even nicer in person and they go with so many outfits. Very happy with my purchase 🀎

Coffee Brown Patent Leather Mule Heel - Milan

These are awesome sandals. Comfy wide fitting. Photo of them online look like a lolly pink but they are more dusky which I really like. Buckles give a hint of glam.

Pink Leather Slide Sandals – Urban

Shoe is beautiful. But sling back is too long and would require my heel to hang over the back of the shoe. Will check with manufacturer as to what csn be done. But leather etc. Is gorgeous.
