EXCHANGES AND RETURNS
EXCHANGES AND RETURNS
Every INIZIO is handmade in Italy, and we want yours to fit as intended. Throughout our first season, shipping and exchanges are complimentary.
Exchanges
Should the size not be quite right, we will gladly exchange your pair, with our compliments.
- Write to customercare@genaio.com within 14 days of receiving your order.
- We will send you a prepaid return label and an exchange form.
- Place the shoes in their original box, protect it with an outer bag or box, and enclose the completed form.
- Once your pair has arrived and been inspected, your new size is on its way.
Exchanges are offered for pairs that are unworn, carry their original labels and are returned in the original, undamaged shoebox.
Returns and refunds
Should you prefer a refund instead, you may withdraw from your purchase within 14 days of receiving your order, without giving a reason. Simply let us know within that period, by email to customercare@genaio.com or through the withdrawal form on our website.
- Please send your pair back within 14 days of informing us.
- We will gladly send you a return label; the shipping cost, which varies by country, is then deducted from your refund. We will confirm the exact amount before you send your pair back.
- You are equally welcome to return it with a tracked carrier of your own choice, in which case nothing is deducted.
- Your refund is made to your original payment method within 14 days of your notice. We may wait until the shoes have reached us or you have sent us proof of shipment.
- You are welcome to try your pair on indoors, as you would in a boutique. If the shoes show wear beyond that, we may reduce the refund to reflect the loss in value.
We recommend a tracked and insured service, as the shipment remains your responsibility until it reaches us.
Faulty items
Should your pair arrive with a defect or not as described, write to us and we will repair, replace or refund it in line with your statutory rights.
The following rules apply to returns:
• Every shoe is made by hand in Italy. A handmade dress sneaker should fit like it was made for you. That's why shipping is free, and so is your exchange.
- Complimentary shipping on every order
- Complimentary size exchange within 14 days of delivery
To exchange your pair, simply make sure they are:
- Unworn, undamaged and in the same new condition (no creases, or marks of visible wear)
- In the original box, with the tissue paper and packaging
- Sent back within 14 days of delivery
- Advice: try them indoors, on a clean surface
All we want is you to enjoy your Genaio Inizio's - No compromises, from the first step.
Tip: always send your package with a track and trace number. Genaio does not accept any liability for loss or delay of packages in the postal service.
You will always get your purchase amount back the same way that you paid for it. Returns are usually processed within 8 days. Please note that, depending on your bank, it may take up to 3 to 4 business days for the booking to appear on your account.
