Return & Exchange Policy

Changed your mind? No Problem! We want you to love your purchase, but if you have to return or exchange you can do so. Please read our full policy below.

Returns

Return can be made within 14 days of the original purchase date*. All items must be in sellable condition, unworn, with hangtags attached and accompanied by the original receipt (sorry, no exceptions) and method of payment. Some exceptions apply (see Exceptions below). After 14 days you will be able to exchange only, providing the above conditions are met. 

*Returns that received Free Shipping: Please note, as a small business, offering Free Shipping is something we want to do for our customers, but comes at a cost to us as a small business. We are happy to absorb this cost for you to facilitate your order(s). However, in the event you return the stock, we are in a situation where we incur additional fees, which we cannot afford as a small business. If you return your order that you received free shipping on, either $12 (Ontario) or $15 (Rest of Canada) will be deducted from your refund amount to cover the cost of the shipping to you. If you return a partial order, we will evaluate what shipping you would have qualified for based on the items you are keeping and adjust accordingly. 

Exchanges

We will gladly help you with any exchanges within 21 days of the original purchase date*. All items must be in saleable condition, unworn, with hangtags attached and accompanied by the original receipt (sorry, no exceptions) and method of payment. If you purchased online, your original 'order confirmation' is what you will need. Exchanges can only be done in store. Some exceptions apply. All items are FINAL SALE AFTER 21 DAYS (sorry, no exceptions).

When trying on any shoes we highly recommend trying them on carpet to prevent any damage, including taps being scratched in case the shoes need to be returned. Tap shoes with scratched taps cannot be returned.

*Purchase date refers to the date on the order receipt and not the date that the order was received, via pickup or shipping.

Shoes that have been fit during a pointe shoe fitting appointment are subject to a 20% restocking fee if returned.

Late or missing refunds
