I RECEIVED AN ERROR MESSAGE WHEN CHECKING OUT.
Ensure that the billing information entered matches what your bank has on file. If your address is correct, your transaction may have been flagged as fraudulent. Because we use a Canadian payment processing company, your bank may see the “international” purchase as suspicious. Simply notify your financial institution before attempting another purchase.

All merchandise must be returned unworn and with original tags. We cannot accept shoes that have been worn outside, so please be sure to try them on inside before removing tags.

I RECEIVED SHOES AS A GIFT AND WOULD LIKE TO RETURN OR EXCHANGE.
We can only offer gift returns if the shoes were purchased from our online store. The shoes need to be refunded to the original method of payment, and then a new order can be placed. If the shoes were purchased from a retailer, they will need to be returned or exchanged directly at that location, in line with the store’s policy.
If your gift did not include a pre-paid Canada Post return label, please contact customercare@nativeshoes.com.
WHEN WILL I RECEIVE MY REFUND?
Please allow up to 10 business days after your return order has been received by our warehouse for your refund to be processed. Allow 1-2 billing cycles for the credit to appear on your statement.

Native Shoes is happy to extend a 6 month warranty against any manufacturer defect in materials or workmanship. Warranties can be submitted up to six months from the original date of purchase, with proof of purchase.
If you purchased shoes directly from our online store: Please email customercare@nativeshoes.com with your order number, proof of purchase, and photos detailing your issue.
If you purchased shoes from one of our retail partners: Please return shoes directly to that location, where they will issue you a warranty exchange or refund.
Note that fit issues should be resolved before you remove tags or wear your shoes outside. If you are in doubt about the fit, we recommend wearing your new shoes indoors to be sure.
HOW CAN I FIND OUT WHEN A PRODUCT WILL BE RESTOCKED?
We restock our core colorways approximately twice per season. Many of our prints and colorways are seasonal releases and will not be carried over. If a specific product, colorway, or size is out of stock on our website, try checking with a local retailer.

ARE ALL NATIVE SHOES THE SAME WIDTH?
Shoe width varies from style to style. Feel free to email customercare@nativeshoes.com for recommendations on which styles are better suited to wider feet.
ARE NATIVE SHOES NON-SLIP?
Our shoes are not certified non-slip. Please explore safely.
WHAT IS EVA?
The technical name is ethylene-vinyl acetate. This material naturally molds to your feet, giving each step a cool and cushy feeling. Our EVA shoes are lightweight, shock absorbent, hand-washable, and odor-resistant.
DO NATIVE SHOES CONTAIN ANY HARMFUL INGREDIENTS?
Our shoes are REACH and CPSIA compliant, are BPA and phthalate free, and do not contain hazardous materials such as formaldehyde or formamide.
HOW TO CARE FOR EVA SHOES:
EVA shoes can be hand-washed using mild soap and baking soda. Wash with a cloth or soft brush and let dry in a cool shaded area. Never put your shoes in the washing machine, dryer, or dishwasher! EVA shoes are heat-formed, so they can be heat-deformed. We advise on our product tags to store shoes away from direct sun or heat, as they can warp due to the EVA composition. We also advise against leaving them in hot cars.
HOW TO CARE FOR NON-EVA SHOES:
We recommend cleaning your soft-top shoes with the following method:
- When shoe is completely dry, remove surface dirt with a soft-bristled brush.
- Remove insole and set aside.
- Quickly run warm water over the outer surface of the shoe.
- Using a cloth or soft-bristled brush and mild dish soap, rub dirt off in gentle circular motions. Do not scrub vigorously as this could damage the material.
- Rinse under warm water and repeat until material is clean and the soap is rinsed out.
- Pat off excess water with a towel and set aside to air dry away from direct sunlight and heat.
WHERE DOES THE NAME NATIVE SHOES COME FROM?
Derivative of the latin word nativus, meaning the place or environment in which a person was born, Native Shoes was conceived from the idea that we are all native to somewhere. In designing both adults and kids styles for a wide range of climates, Native Shoes makes classic footwear for all people in all places.
Native Shoes is not an Indigenous-led company, and we acknowledge that the brand was founded and is currently headquartered on the unceded territory of the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh First Nations.
WHERE ARE NATIVE SHOES MADE?
We are currently working with factories in China and Vietnam to produce all of the shoes in our collection. We pride ourselves in our factory conditions and have stringent ethical practices in place; including the prohibition of forced labor, regulation of wages, and monitoring of working hours. We have great relationships with our teams on the ground, and make several trips a year to develop new products and ensure proper conditions are being maintained.
WHAT IS BEAST FREE?
Beast Free has been an integral part of our DNA since day one. Not a single hair nor hide on any animal, anywhere, has been used in the creation of our product. We are proud of that, and have been awarded the PETA Approved Vegan certification. Beast Free means respecting our animal and human friends equally.
ARE NATIVE SHOES RECYCLABLE?
Yes! We are currently accepting worn out Native Shoes for recycling as part of The Remix Project at our store location in Vancouver.
How do I know my size?
“6W8″ means – Size 6 Men’s, Size 8 Women’s.
“C7″ means – Child Size 7.
“J1″ means – Junior Size 1, which equates to Adult Size 1 as well.
How do I find women’s sizing?
Most of our shoes are offered in unisex sizing unless otherwise stated. When converting to women’s sizes from men’s, go up 2 sizes. If you aren’t sure, please check out our sizing chart.
