Refund policy
Exchange-Only Policy
Last updated: 20 August 2026
We want your child to get the right fit. Smart Steps operates an exchange-only policy. We do not offer cash refunds or store credit, except where required by law.
1. Exchange window and eligibility
- Request an exchange within 24 hours of receiving the shoes.
- The 24-hour window applies to both Nairobi and countrywide customers.
- Shoes must be unworn and unscuffed, with the box or original packaging ready to return.
- Soles must be clean and unmarked.
2. Free size exchange and logistics
- The first qualifying size exchange is free when requested within the 24-hour window.
- Additional exchanges may attract a delivery charge, which will be confirmed before collection or redelivery.
- Collection and redelivery timing is arranged with you and depends on location, stock and courier availability.
3. Exchange options
- Size exchange: the same style in a different size, subject to stock availability.
- Style exchange: a different style, subject to stock availability. If prices differ, we will confirm the difference before redelivery.
4. Defective, damaged or incorrect items
If your order arrives with a manufacturing defect, damage or the wrong item, send clear photos and your order number. After assessment, we will exchange or replace the item at no extra cost.
