Refund policy
Returns and Exchanges
At John White, we take great pride in delivering the finest quality products. If for any reason you’re not completely satisfied with your purchase from www.johnwhiteshoes.com, you may return your item within 30 days of receipt for an exchange or a refund, subject to the conditions below.
Christmas Returns
Anything bought from 12 November 2026 can be returned until 31 January 2027, on the same conditions as below.
Conditions for Returns
- Product Condition: Items must be returned in their original, unused condition and in the original packaging.
- Proof of Purchase: All returns must be accompanied by a receipt or proof of purchase.
Trying Shoes On
Please try your shoes on indoors, on a clean, soft surface, as you would in a shop. Shoes that have been worn outside cannot be resold.
Your Legal Right to Cancel
Under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013, you have the right to cancel your order within 14 days of the day you, or someone you name, receive the goods, without giving any reason. Our returns policy above goes further than this and does not take it away.
- How to cancel: tell us clearly that you wish to cancel, by email to info@johnwhiteshoes.com or by post to the return address below. You can use the model cancellation form at the end of this policy, but you do not have to.
- Sending the goods back: return the goods to us within 14 days of telling us you are cancelling. For UK orders we provide a free returns label.
- Your refund: we will refund what you paid, including standard delivery, to your original payment method within 14 days of receiving the goods back, or of you showing us proof that you have sent them, whichever is sooner.
- Handling the goods: you are only liable for any loss in the value of the goods caused by handling them beyond what is necessary to establish their nature, characteristics and functioning, meaning more than you could do in a shop. If shoes come back worn outside, we may reduce your refund by that loss in value, up to the full price.
None of this affects your legal rights if goods are faulty or not as described, under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.
