Returns Policy

1. What is your store Returns Policy?

   We are pleased to offer an exchange or store credit on any unworn/unused merchandise, provided that it is returned within 14 days, with proof of purchase and in it’s original box.

   If you do not have your receipt, unworn merchandise may be returned in its original box for an exchange or store credit equal to the current or last marked selling price of the original purchase. Any exchange/credit is at management's discretion, and only if management are completely satisfied that the product was purchased in our stores.

   Please note that we do not offer a refund on personally selected merchandise.

   It is our policy that the original packaging is compulsory with each purchase. This is due to our electronic barcode system, stock control and for re-sale reasons. We are sorry, but we are unable to offer an exchange on loose shoes without the original box.

   We recommend that customers always keep both the receipt and box of all purchases.

   If the product you purchased included a free gift or promotional item, the free gift or promotional item must also be returned. 

   No exchange will be offered on worn merchandise, including new merchandise worn out-of-shop. For worn returns with defects, please see 'How do I return a faulty item'.

   This does not affect your statutory or consumer rights.  

2. What is your Returns Policy during Sale periods?

   You must have your original receipt if returning any items purchased during the sale or if returning an item purchased pre-sale at full price.

   You must also have the original box/packaging. We operate a strict 'no box - no exchange' policy.

   If you do not have your receipt or cannot offer proof of the purchase price, you may be credited with the current selling price at management's discretion, and only if management are completely satisfied that the product was purchased in our stores.

   We have a 14 day return policy. Items returned outside of this time frame cannot be returned or exchanged.

   We do not offer an exchange on sale items discounted by 30% or more.

   We do not offer refunds on discounted or sale items.

3. How do I return a faulty item?

   1. You must have your original receipt or a price specific proof of purchase (e.g. card statement) for the product you are returning.
   2. Our staff will take receipt of your faulty goods and in return you will receive a Returns Remittance Slip. This is not an acceptance of liability.
   3. Our returns department will examine your goods. If the complaint is deemed worthy, a repair, replacement, store credit or refund will be issued as is appropriate.
   4. If management can find no apparent fault with the goods, you will be contacted and informed of the decision, including an explanation as to why. You will be offered the opportunity for the product to be returned to the manufacturer by ourselves for testing, and for a second expert opinion on the matter.

   We will always accept the decision of the manufacturer following testing, even if it contradicts our own initial judgement.

   Please note that sales assistents on the floor are not qualified to make a decision or judgement on faulty goods. Unless management are present to address the complaint on the day, the above procedure applies. You will then be contacted in due course. 

4. What are your terms & conditions for returning worn/faulty items?

   There is a 90 day manufacturer’s guarantee on all our shoes.

   Returns deemed defective but which fall outside of the 90 day period (from date of purchase) will be entitled to partial credit of the original purchase value. This will be issued in the form of Store Credit only.

   No refund can be issued without specific proof of purchase, and in any instance where proof of purchase cannot be produced, Store Credit may be issued instead at the discretion of management, and only if management are completely satisfied that the product was purchased in our stores.

   Please note that the following instances are not grounds for returning goods:

   • Excessive wear and tear.
   • Goods damaged by not being used for their intended purpose (i.e. formal/dress shoes being worn as every day shoes, fashion boots being used as riding/field boots).
   • Scuffing on shoes - scuffing happens due to actions where the upper material is repeatedly worn against an abrasive surface. It is a common problem with a minority of young children, especially in their formative years. There is no such thing as anti-scuff or scuff resistant leather/patent/synthetic or canvas materials. A scuffing issue can be easily corrected by observing the child in order to ascertain what he/she is doing to cause the scuffing. As scuffing is damage created by the wearer, it is not a manufacturing fault and therefore not a legitimate reason for return.
   • Shoes worn in wet conditions that are not Waterproof – leather is a naturally porous material and is not waterproof unless lined with GoreTEX or a similar waterproofing technology.
   • Brand new leather soled shoes should never be worn in wet conditions. It is important to 'wear them in' on a dry day to build up a lare of grit on the soles, in order to protect the leather and extend it’s life.
   • Delicate trims such as beadwork or floral accessories are not guaranteed due to their delicate nature and appropriate care should always be taken when wearing such items. It is the consumer’s responsibility to get these repaired.

5. Where is your Return Policy displayed?

   Our return policy is displayed in the following areas:
   

   • In large A1 format at the point-of-sale in each of our stores.
   • In A4 format around the store.
   • Pre-printed on the back of all purchase receipts.
   • On our website www.kellys-shoes.ie
