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.
PowerStep tip
There's no direct exchange option — you return the pair you have, wait for it to be accepted, then place a brand-new order for a different size, so build in extra time if you need the replacement before an event.
