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.
Sneex tip
If you're not sure about sizing, go for an exchange instead of a return - exchanges are free while returns carry a flat $15 charge regardless of the item's price.
