FAQ

What is the return policy?

While we do NOT accept returns, we DO ACCEPT free exchanges for other sizes as well as store credit towards another style since we want to keep you happy in a pair of our shoes or boots. In cases of authorized returns, refunds will exclude a $50 restocking fee. If boots were worn outside or show visible signs of wear, all exchanges/returns are void. 

In certain cases of defects, returns are authorized. Funds returned in cases of defects will exclude 7% of the total transaction. If boots were worn outside or show visible signs of wear, all exchanges/returns are void. 

If you would like to cancel an order, it must be done within 24 hours after placing the original order

For international customers, all exchanges for sizing, store credit, etc are subject to a $50 restocking fee to cover some of the freight both ways. For fully custom orders (one-of-one customs), all sizing exchanges warrant a $50 restocking fee.

Ladies:

Our ladies styles run true to size. They are slightly narrow, but again, this is made using a western last, meaning that they should be slightly snug in width and will break in with wear.  

 

What are the best Care Instructions?

Full-Grain Leathers - (All leathers on the site excluding roughout and suede leathers): We recommend using Smiths Leather Balm but any leather conditioner will work. Please note that leather conditioners will likely darken the surface color of the boots. 

You can also use leather conditioner on the welt & stacked leather heel to breathe some life into them if the edge dressing has worn away with wear. 

Roughout/Suede Leathers- Roughout leathers are surprisingly durable, but have specific care instructions. DO NOT use water or conditioner to clean dirt marks or stains. Simply use a suede brush and brush the affected area until the dirt mark subsides.
