At Skip's Western Outfitters, we strive to provide our customers with the best online shopping experience. We understand that sometimes, a return may be necessary, and we are here to assist you. Please take a moment to review our comprehensive return policy outlined below.

Please note: We have a separate return policy for in-store purchases. Click here to view.

🎄❄ HOLIDAY RETURNS: Purchases made November 1 through December 31 have an extended return period of 90 days from the date purchased. All other terms and conditions of our Return and Exchange Policy apply.🎄❄  

Policy General Guidelines:

1.1. Returned products must be in their original condition, unworn, and free from any damage or signs of use. We cannot accept returns of items that show ordinary wear and tear, including boots with scratched outer soles, scuffs, or any other visible signs of use.

TIP: We strongly recommend trying on new boots on carpet to avoid scratching or scuffing the outer soles. 

1.2. We accept returns for online orders within 30 days from the date of fulfillment. Beyond this period, we regret that we cannot process any returns.

1.3. All items must be returned in their original, undamaged packaging. If your items came with a shoe/boot box, the box must also be returned and undamaged.

1.4. Original tags must remain attached to the returned items, if applicable.

1.5. Should a returned item be deemed ineligible for return based on the criteria of this return policy, Skip’s Western Outfitters cannot ship the item back to you.

Additionally, any damage may exclude a product from being eligible for return.

5.2. We are not responsible for return packages lost in transit and will not provide refunds or exchanges for lost items.

5.3. We recommend using the return label generated from returns.skipsboots.com as your shipping method. If possible, obtain any receipt of shipment from the carrier as proof.

6.3. Store Credit: If you choose store credit, it will be delivered to you via email within the same day after the inspection is completed.

6.4. Exchanges: For exchange orders, once the original returned item has been inspected and approved, the replacement item will be shipped out to you. You will receive tracking information via email as soon as it becomes available, allowing you to track the progress of your exchange shipment.

6.5. Once store credit for a return has been processed, we cannot refund back to your original payment method. Please be sure to select the desired return option (refund, store credit, exchange) when initiating your return.
