My currency is not available. What will happen?

For credit card payments, we have pre-selected a currency based on your location. Your bank will make the associated currency exchange calculations and may charge you a transaction or processing fee. For that reason, the charged amount you will see in your statement may differ slightly. For bank wires we are able to accept Euros. You will have to communicate with your bank before transferring to ensure the correct amount.

What do I need to know about Gift Cards?

Gift Cards are the perfect option when offering shoes as gifts. The person that receives the card will be able to buy any pair within the card value. The card will be valid for a year and it is not refundable.
