Returns & Exchanges

We aim to provide products of the highest standard and quality, all shoes purchased from us come with a 6-month sustainable guarantee from date of original purchase. If an item is received with a defect, please contact us and our team will advise of the returns process and help resolve the problem as swiftly as possible. If the shoe is deemed a wear related fault for example a wear related flex groove sole issue, then the shoe will be repaired.

Please note that we may request photos of the defect/fault in order to speed up the returns process. Where necessary, Vivobarefoot Australia & NZ will reimburse the cost of the return postage for faulty goods.

If you request a refund for your order, you will be refunded the purchase value of the order after the discount was applied. If you return other items in the order, these will be refunded minus the price of the FREE or discounted item.

Customers within New Zealand are required to pay return postage, however, we will reimburse you up to the value of NZD $22. Simply initiate a return request by selecting the "INITIATE RETURN" button found at the end of our Returns Policy page and our friendly Customer Service team will email you the details.

We process refunds as quickly as possible. Please allow 14 working days, and if you haven’t received your refund by then please contact our customer care.

We hope you are happy with your purchase but if you are looking to return or exchange your shoes for whatever reason, we’re help to help and we offer a 100-day returns policy.
