G/FORE tip
Footwear gets extra protection beyond the return window - defects in materials or workmanship are covered for 90 days from purchase, separate from the standard return clock, but normal wear and tear isn't covered.
Nuage tip
If you're trying to compare fit between two sizes, don't order two of the exact same style and size to test - the policy only lets you return one pair per style and size combination, so buy different sizes if you want to compare.
