      2. 365 Day Returns Policy

        We hope you’re happy with your new Schuh purchase! However, if you’re unhappy for any reason, here’s what to do.

        Changed your mind?

        If the shoes are not a suitable fit or if you simply do not like them, you have up to 365 days to return them to us. All we ask is that you send them back in the unused condition that you received them and in their original box where possible.

        There are 2 ways for you to return shoes to us:

        At a store

        Just go to your nearest Schuh store with your shoes and some form of proof of purchase. Proof of purchase can be either the printout of your order confirmation or your e-mail confirmation which was sent to you after you placed your order.

        By post

        Pack up the shoes carefully in their original box and a secure outer wrapper where possible and send them back clearly addressed to:

        Schuh Returns

        Schuh Ltd

        1 Neilson Square

        Deans Industrial Estate

        Livingston

        EH54 8RQ

        UK

        Please use the Returns Form which will have been enclosed when you received your order, or enclose a note detailing your name, address, contact number and reason for return.

        We recommend you use some form of registered post in case you need to track your parcel.

        If the item is faulty, or if we’ve made a mistake with your order, we will be able to offer a refund or an exchange and reimburse your postage costs if applicable. We’re really sorry, but we’re unable to take back used goods which are unsuitable or don’t fit, or reimburse the postage costs incurred returning unused/unsuitable items to us. This is in addition to, and does not affect, your consumer rights.

    6. Payment Options

      We accept the following methods of payment.

      1. Credit cards:-

        • Mastercard
        • VISA

      Payment will be processed using the services of SECpay, PayPal and Lloyds CardNet Merchant Services. For Debit, Credit and Gift Card payments, we may use a payment on despatch system. This means that your bank will ringfence a pre authorisation amount of £1 when the order is placed, and the full payment for each item will be debited as we despatch your order.

      3. What Information is collected about you and how is it used?

        When you place an order we need to collect your name, address, e-mail and telephone number as well as details of the method by which you intend to pay for the Goods.

        If you supply your email address without placing an order, we may pass your email to a third party organisation in order to offer you the opportunity to purchase from us.
