Returns Policy

For purchases made from 25th November 2020 to 31st December 2020, we have extended our returns period to 60 days provided all other return conditions are met.

We want you to be completely satisfied with our products and we will gladly accept returns within 30 days of receipt where the products are in new, unworn with tags attached and in their original packaging.

3 simple conditions for a successful return:

• Item(s) were purchased in the last 30 days and proof of purchase can be provided.
• Item(s) must be unworn & undamaged with original tags attached.
• Items are in their original packaging (shoebox) and in original condition.

• Please note that returns cannot be sent with the shoebox taped up, written on or exposed. Please use either the original postage bag or an inside out plastic shopping bag. *

  *We reserve the right to reject any returns that do not meet these requirements.

Important to note! We do not offer exchanges for online orders. You'll automatically be issued a refund for any returned items. If you would like to exchange an item, we recommend placing a new order online and return your existing item. Alternatively, you can visit our Werribee store for an exchange.

*Any item(s) that were not purchased from an authorised CAT store will need to be returned/exchanged at the original store of purchase. Please click here for more information.

Please note that we cannot facilitate Paypal refunds in store. All online returns must be lodged through our Returns portal here. Please note that all online returns must be dropped off at your local post office. We do not accept direct returns to the warehouse.

Cost of returns

You are responsible for the costs of returning any item(s) to our online store. Any returned item(s) are your property and remain your responsibility until they reach our warehouse.

Once processed, the refund will show in your account within 2-5 business days, depending on your financial institution.

Faulty items

If you believe your online purchase arrived with a manufacturing fault, or you received something different to your original order, we'll be happy to cover the cost of the return.

If this is the case, please contact our CAT Experts below with as many details as possible about the order. We'll request your order/receipt number and photographs of the tongues, tops, sides, soles and fault.

*Please do not return any faulty items without contacting us first.

We're so sorry to hear that your item is faulty. If you believe any purchased items may have manufacturing faults, please follow the below steps.

1. Order number or proof of purchase
