For Pointe Shoes in particular:

• Unfortunately, no 2 pairs of pointe shoes are made identical, so:
• Your new pair may not fit exactly the same as your last pair
  - try them on carefully before dancing in them!
• Your new pair may not last exactly as long as your last pair
  - this does NOT mean they are defective!
  (of course, they could also last longer...)

We do not make exchanges, or issue credits or refunds, until we have received the return merchandise and determined that it meets the above conditions.

If you are exchanging an item and need the replacement right away, the replacement item must be paid-for before we can ship it to you.

All returned items that do not meet the above conditions will be donated to charity or otherwise disposed of - NO refund or credit will be issued.
