Your right to cancel an order starts the moment you place your order and ends 14 days from the day you receive it. This 14 day period is the time you have to send the goods back.
During this period you may examine your goods and decide to keep them or cancel your order. Do not wear footwear outdoors during this period unless you have decided to keep them, as any cancelled orders must be returned in their original and unworn condition. You may of course try the footwear on indoors to examine if the fit is correct for you.

Our dispatch team takes great care to carefully inspect each and every pair of footwear for damage/faults/quality issues and to ensure you receive the correct item according to your order, before actually dispatching your parcel. In the rare event that we do send out the wrong item, or the item you receive is damaged, faulty or of unsatisfactory quality or unsuitable for purpose, then get in touch with us immediately to let us know. We may ask you to send us some photographs of the item showing the issues you have identified. We will then normally ask you to return the item to us for inspection. Upon receiving your item we will inspect it to confirm your complaint. Upon confirming your complaint we may make an offer of an exchange or refund (including your original postage fees if applicable), and will offer to reimburse your return postage costs, so that you are not out of pocket due to an error on our behalf. If our inspection cannot confirm your complaint then this will be communicated to you and we will try to work with you to achieve a satisfactory resolution.
Cancellations & Returns are usually processed within 1-3 working days of us receiving the goods back. Scorpio Shoes will guarantee to process your refund to your original method of payment within 14 days of receipt of your accepted returned order. A returned order may not be accepted if inspection of the returned goods indicates that they have been worn outside or show excessive signs of wear, such as soles being worn down or creases in the leather, for example. I.E. The buyer has a responsibility to take reasonably good care of the goods whilst they are in their possession.
Returns: Who pays for the return postage costs?
The cost of returning an order to Scorpio Shoes is to be paid by the buyer in all circumstances except where Scorpio Shoes has made an error, incorrectly supplied goods, or supplied goods that were faulty, not as described, or not suitable for the intended purpose, in which case the buyer pays the cost of return postage initially but then Scorpio Shoes reimburses upon confirmation of a complaint.
