Our No-Hassle Return Policy

Even rugged boots sometimes need to go back. You have 15 days from delivery to initiate returns if:

  • The fit isn’t perfect for your feet (we’ll help find your size)
  • The product doesn’t meet our durability standards (rare, but we stand by our quality)

Return shipping costs are the customer’s responsibility unless the item is defective.

Pro Tip: Order your usual size plus one width larger when trying new brands. Our boot experts can advise on sizing quirks between Danner, Thorogood, and Wolverine models.
