Domestic Returns
Our domestic return policy applies to all returns made from addresses within the United States.
Free Exchanges
We understand that you made your purchase with a specific need in mind. And if the product you purchased doesn’t suit that need, we’re here to help you find a better match for you. If you need a different size, color, or other product option — or even another product entirely — we want to make swapping your purchase for the correct item simple and free.
As such, we’re happy to offer free exchanges and free returns for store credit on all insole and footwear purchases (except clearance and closeout items). We’ll even provide you with a prepaid return shipping label to use to make your return when exchanging your item or choosing to return your item for store credit.
If you’re having trouble finding the perfect product, we can help! Contact our product specialists for help selecting a different product for exchange. Or, return your purchase for full store credit now and try something else later down the road!
Wear Test Guarantees
With insoles and certain other foot support and foot comfort products, it’s important that you actually wear and use your new purchase for a while before you decide whether it does or does not work for you. Not only will you want to see how it fits, but in many cases it may take your feet several days to several weeks to get fully used to the new product. What might seem uncomfortable or unsuitable to you at first may feel very different after your feet adjust!
Since this process may take a little while, we offer Wear Test Guarantees on many products sitewide. This guarantee ensures that you are able to test out your purchase by wearing or using it for a while and still be eligible to return it if it simply doesn’t work out. Simply look for the "Wear Test Guarantee" details on product information pages.
What to Expect When Making a Return
- We will provide a free return shipping label when you choose to make a return for either exchange or store credit. Your return label will be created and sent to you automatically after creating your return request.
- If you elect to make a return for a refund to your original payment method, you’ll be responsible for shipping your purchase back to us. Return mailing instructions will be provided after creating your return request, or you can elect to use a shipping label from us for a set cost when creating your return request.
- Create your return request online with our hassle-free returns portal (see instructions below). You can choose to return your product(s) for either exchange, refund to store credit (as a digital gift card), or refund to your original payment method.
- For exchanges, the only thing you’ll ever need to pay is the price difference for your new product, if there is one. If you exchange for a lower-priced item, we’ll refund the price difference to your original payment method.
- For returns for store credit, you’ll receive the full purchase price of the returned item(s) back as a digital gift card that can be used on our store at a later date. Our gift cards never expire.
- For returns for refund, you’ll receive a full refund to your original payment method for the purchase price of the returned item(s) minus a 3% processing fee.

Damaged or Defective Merchandise
If you received a product that was damaged or defective upon arrival, please contact us and we’d be happy to issue a replacement of the product at no cost to you.

Other Return Policy Information
FAQs
The answers to other frequently asked questions regarding our returns policy may be found on our support site.
Mailing a Return Without Creating an Online Return Request
Creating a return request online is fast and easy, and it helps us to expedite the returns process and keep both you and us informed about the status of your return from start to finish. As such, we ask that all returns be made through the use of our returns portal.
If you need assistance creating your return request, please contact our customer service team and we’d be more than happy to help create your return request for you.
Should you send a return back to us without first creating a return request through our online returns portal, the processing of your return may be delayed. If we are unable to identify your original order from your return contents, we may also be unable to process your return at all.
In circumstances where we receive a return without an RMA and no request for exchange or store credit is provided with your return, we will assume that you are requesting a refund to your original payment method and will process the return accordingly.
Returns With RMA Request Discrepancies
When you create your return request, we ask that you do your best to ensure that the contents of your return package matches the RMA request you created. Please note the correct items and quantities being returned on your RMA, as this helps us to ensure that your return is processed quickly and accurately.
If you create an RMA and need to modify it before shipping your return package, please contact our Customer Service team and we'd be happy to help update your RMA request.
Should we receive a return package that contains additional items not included on the RMA request, the processing of those additional items may be delayed. Similarly, should we receive a return package which contains different items than those included on the RMA request, the processing of the entire return may be delayed.
Returns Containing Ineligible Return Merchandise
We inspect all items that are returned to us to ensure that those items meet our criteria for items eligible for return, and to ensure that what was returned to us is what was included in your return request.
If you return an item to us that is deemed ineligible for return, a refund/exchange for that item will not be processed, and you will be responsible for the cost of shipping the item back to you.
Returns Due to Refused Delivery
Here at TheInsoleStore.com, we do everything we can to get your order to you as quickly and accurately as possible, including shipping most orders the same day and with free shipping.
Upon delivery attempt, should you choose to refuse delivery of the shipment and have the carrier return the shipment to us without first having created a return online and using our free prepaid return shipping label, we will process the refused shipment as a return for refund, and a 20% restocking fee will be deducted from your due refund once we receive and process your refused shipment. If you paid for shipping on your order, this cost will not be refunded.
Returns Due to Unclaimed Shipments
For domestic U.S. customers, shipment carriers will obey all hold mail, stop mail, forward mail, and other such delivery/package handling requests that have been established with the carrier when attempting to deliver your order to you. In some cases, the carrier may hold the package at your local carrier pickup location after several delivery attempts, at which point you will need to either reschedule delivery of the package directly with the carrier or pick the package up from the package pickup location where it is held.
For international customers, our shipping carrier will transfer responsibility of package handling and delivery to your local postal carrier once the package reaches customs processing. In some cases, either the local postal carrier or customs authority may hold the package for pickup. It is your responsibility to monitor the status of your package and to work with your local postal carrier or your country’s customs office in the event of any delivery or customs issues.
In either case, should your package go “Unclaimed” and be sent back to us, a 20% restocking fee will be deducted from your due refund once we receive and process your unclaimed shipment. If you paid for shipping on your order, this cost will not be refunded.
