Refund policy
Last updated: 25 September 2026
At States Original, we want you to be completely satisfied with your purchase. If something isn't right, we're here to help.
This Return & Refund Policy applies to purchases made directly through the States Original website.
1. Returns & Exchanges
We accept requests for returns or size exchanges within 7 days of delivery.
To be eligible, the product must:
-
Be unused and unworn.
-
Be in its original condition.
-
Be returned with the original shoe box, packaging and accessories.
-
Have all original tags and labels intact, where applicable.
-
Do not show signs of wear, washing, damage, stains, odour or alteration.
We recommend trying your shoes indoors on a clean surface to confirm the size and fit before wearing them outside.
Products that have been worn outdoors or show signs of use may not be eligible for return or exchange.
2. Size Exchanges
If you have ordered the wrong size, you may request a size exchange within 7 days of delivery, subject to availability.
The replacement size must be from the same product and colour purchased.
If your requested size is unavailable, you may choose an alternative resolution available under our return process.
Only one size exchange per order is permitted.
3. Damaged, Defective or Incorrect Products
If you receive a product that is damaged, defective or different from the product you ordered, please contact us within 48 hours of delivery.
Please provide:
-
Your order number.

Clear photographs of the product.
-
Photographs of the packaging, where relevant.
-
A brief description of the issue.
Our team will review the issue and, where the claim is accepted, arrange an appropriate resolution, which may include a replacement, exchange or refund.
For products that arrive damaged, defective or incorrect, States Original will bear the applicable return shipping cost.
4. Change of Mind
If you simply change your mind about your purchase, you may request a return within the applicable 7-day return window, provided the product meets all return conditions.
Return shipping charges, where applicable, may be deducted from the refund amount.
5. Items Not Eligible for Return
A return or exchange may be refused if the product:
-
Has been worn outdoors.
-
Has been washed or cleaned.
-
Has visible dirt, stains, marks or damage.
-
Has been altered or modified.

Is returned without its original packaging.
