Dick's Sporting Goods tip
90 days with receipt. Shoes should be lightly worn if at all. Golf Galaxy items follow similar policy.
Liforme tip
The 30-day window is for yoga mats only - everything else Liforme sells, from bags to apparel, only gets 14 days, so don't assume the mat return window applies storewide.
