PLEASE NOTE: using months only is not an accurate way for deciding size

we not not agree with the Bobux months stated on sizes 18 to 22

Bobux shoes are designed to include a little extra ‘wiggle room’, so sizing might seem larger than other brands.

If your child measures at the beginning of a Bobux size, they’ll have around 14mm of space between their foot and the end of the shoe, allowing them 7mm of growth and 7mm of wiggle room.

Your child’s toes should never be touching the end of the shoe.

As you can see the Xplorer, Step Up and I-Walk ranges include size 22. This is because of the different developmental stages children can be at when wearing this size - some are walking confidently, others are still finding their feet! 

We try to be as flexible as we can, as we know that it is not easy with sizes!

For online purchases (except for clearance  styles as below) we have a 14 day returns policy (includes swaps) from when you receive the goods. We do refund subject to clearance policy below.

Swaps

For an incorrect size (except for clearance  styles as below)  - we allow 1 swap for a change in size (cost to return is yours and we send the replacement at our cost).

To quicken the process up, you can place another order for the correct size & we'll send it out - then refund once the original is returned (at your cost).

Bundles

If part of a bundle (group of items with an added discount) is returned, any amount refunded will bring the cost back to the original non bundled price.

e.g. 2 packs of socks at $20.00 each normal price, A total of $30.00 paid, 1 pair returned the refund will be $10.00. This brings the amount paid back to the non bundled price of $20.00

Mostly they will be less a returns fee, however:

Clearance items under $60.00 are NOT RETURNABLE or SWAPPABLE

At Bobux we use premium materials. 
We understand that all textiles are not created equal and we use each in a way that utilises their specific strengths and best contributes to the overall performance of the shoe. Given the diversity of our range, we may use a mix of materials and you'll find all the materials used in any given shoe listed in the description of that shoe. Below you will be able to see what care is recommended for each material so you can make good decisions and maximise the longevity of your Bobux shoes. Hope it helps!
