Returns & Exchanges

Footwear fit matters. Our return and exchange process is designed to give buyers clear expectations before ordering and a straightforward path when an eligible standard item is not right.

Returns and Exchanges Policy

At Old Realm Leather, we want you to be satisfied with your purchase. We accept returns and exchanges for both defective and non-defective products, subject to the conditions below.

Return Window

You may request a return or exchange within 30 days of receiving your order.

Requests submitted after the 30-day return period may not be accepted.

Eligible Product Condition

Returned or exchanged products must be:

  • New, unworn and unused
  • In their original condition
  • Returned with the original packaging
  • Free from damage, stains, odors or signs of wear

Products that have been worn, used, altered or damaged after delivery cannot be accepted.

Defective, Damaged or Incorrect Products

If your order arrives defective, damaged or incorrect, contact us by email within 30 days of delivery.

Please include:

  • Your order number
  • A description of the problem
  • Clear photographs showing the product and issue

If the return is approved, Old Realm Leather will provide return instructions and cover the reasonable return shipping cost.

Non-Defective Product Returns

We also accept returns for non-defective products within 30 days of delivery, provided they remain new, unworn, unused and in their original packaging.

For non-defective returns, the customer is responsible for the return shipping cost.

Exchanges

We accept exchanges within 30 days of delivery. Products must be new, unworn, unused and returned in their original condition and packaging.

To request a different size or product, contact us by email before returning your order. Exchange availability depends on current stock and production capacity.

Customers are responsible for return shipping costs for standard size or preference exchanges. If an exchange is required because we sent a defective, damaged or incorrect product, Old Realm Leather will cover the reasonable return shipping cost.

How to Request a Return or Exchange

All returns and exchanges must be requested by email.

Include your order number, the reason for your request and, when applicable, photographs of the product. We will review your request and send you the return address and instructions.

Do not return a product before receiving authorization and return instructions from us.

Restocking Fee

We do not charge a restocking fee for approved returns or exchanges.

Refunds

After we receive and inspect the returned product, we will notify you whether the refund has been approved.

Approved refunds will be issued to the original payment method within 7 business days. Your bank or payment provider may require additional time to display the refund in your account.

    Handcrafted Variation

    Natural variations in leather grain, tone and handmade finishing are normal and are not automatically defects.

    Standard Returns & Size Exchanges

    For an eligible standard item, contact us within 30 days of delivery before sending the footwear back. The item should be tried on carefully indoors and returned unused and unworn, without scuffs, stains or other signs of wear.

    Please keep the original packaging, tags and any included accessories until you are certain the fit is right. For change-of-mind or standard sizing returns, the customer is responsible for return shipping unless we tell you otherwise.

    Custom & Made-to-Measure Orders

    Custom, personalized or made-to-measure footwear can have different return eligibility because it is prepared for a specific customer. If you are considering a custom fit, confirm the measurements, requested changes and return eligibility before approving the order.

    If you only need help choosing a standard size or need extra width, contact us first—we may be able to help without turning the order into a bespoke commission.

    Damaged, Defective or Incorrect Order

    If your order arrives damaged, has a manufacturing issue, or is not the item you ordered, contact us promptly with your order number and clear photos of the item and packaging. We will review the issue and provide the appropriate resolution instructions.

    Please do not wear or alter the footwear while a damage or incorrect-item claim is being reviewed.
