Superfeet Return Policy: The 60-Day Satisfaction Guarantee Explained
Buying insoles can feel like a gamble. You usually do not know if they will actually relieve your foot pain until you have worn them for a few days-and by that time, most companies will not take them back. Fortunately, the Superfeet return policy is entirely different.
Superfeet features a legendary 60-Day Satisfaction Guarantee. Unlike almost any other footwear or orthotics brand, Superfeet actively encourages you to cut, trim, and heavily wear their products before deciding if they are the right fit for your feet.
In this comprehensive guide, we will cover everything you need to know about the Superfeet return process. You will learn about the 60-day return window, how to handle trimmed insoles, eligibility rules, how to get your money back, and what to do if you bought your insoles from a third-party retailer like Amazon or REI.
Note: The information in this guide is based on the latest available Superfeet USA policies and is verified for 2025–2026. Policies may change over time.
Overview of Superfeet Return Policy
Most people assume that once you modify a product, you own it forever. With Superfeet, the opposite is true. Their policy is specifically built around the reality that you have to modify their insoles to make them work in your shoes.
Here is a quick-glance summary of how returns work:
| Topic | Details |
|---|---|
| Return Window | 60 days from the original date of purchase. |
| Eligible Items | Insoles, footwear, and accessories. Used, worn, and trimmed items are fully accepted. |
| Return Methods | Mail-in (for Superfeet.com orders) or In-store (for retailer purchases). |
| Refund Methods | Full refund to the original form of payment. |
| Non-returnable Items | Final sale items, intentional damage, and purchases from unauthorized sellers. |
| Fees | Free return shipping (in the US for direct orders). No restocking fees. |
Pro Tip: Don't be afraid to cut your insoles! Superfeet's policy explicitly covers trimmed products. If they don't feel right after you cut them to fit your favorite sneakers, you can still get your money back.
Return Window & Eligibility
To successfully navigate the Superfeet return process, you must follow three basic rules regarding timing, condition, and proof of purchase.
The 60-Day Window
Your return window is exactly 60 days. This countdown begins on the date of purchase printed on your receipt, not the date the item was delivered to your home.
The "Trim Test": Returning Cut or Used Superfeet
This is the number one question shoppers ask: "Can I return Superfeet if I cut them?"
Yes. Trimming your Superfeet insoles to fit inside your shoes does not void the return policy. In fact, trimming is an expected and necessary part of the fitting process. Furthermore, Superfeet wants you to wear the insoles daily to break them in. You can return them even if they are dirty, sweaty, or deeply creased from walking.
Requirements for a Valid Return
While Superfeet is incredibly lenient about the condition of the insoles, they are very strict about proof of purchase.
- Original Receipt Required: You absolutely must have your order number (for website purchases) or your original store receipt (for retail purchases).
- The Original Box: Having the original green or blue Superfeet box is preferred, but it is typically not required as long as you have the valid receipt.
- Location Match: You must return the item exactly where you bought it.
Where Did You Buy Them? (The Retailer Rule)
The biggest point of confusion in the Superfeet refund process is where to send the items. You cannot simply mail a pair of Superfeet to the manufacturer if you bought them at a local run shop. You must process the return through the original point of purchase.
1. Purchases from Superfeet.com
If you bought directly from the official Superfeet website, you will process an online return through their digital portal and mail the insoles back to their warehouse.
2. Purchases from Amazon
If you bought your insoles on Amazon, you must process the return through Amazon’s "Returns & Orders" dashboard. Amazon usually defaults to a 30-day return window. If you are past 30 days but still within Superfeet's 60-day guarantee, you may need to contact Amazon customer service via chat and specifically mention the "manufacturer's 60-day brand guarantee" to force the system to accept the return.
3. Purchases from REI or Fleet Feet
If you bought your insoles at an authorized retailer like REI, you must take them back to that store. In this case, the store's policy often overlaps with Superfeet's. For example, REI members have a full year to return items, which extends well past Superfeet's 60 days. However, if you bought them at a smaller local store with a strict 14-day policy, that store is still required by their vendor contract to honor the Superfeet 60-Day Satisfaction Guarantee.

How to Return Items to Superfeet
Depending on where you made your purchase, follow these step-by-step instructions.

How to Start an Online Return (Superfeet.com Purchases)
If you bought your insoles directly from the brand, the process is incredibly smooth:
- Navigate to the Superfeet Online Returns Portal on their official website.
- Enter your original Order Number and your shipping Zip Code.
- Select the item you wish to return and choose a reason from the dropdown menu (e.g., "Arch too high," "Too firm," "Wrong size").
- Submit the request to generate a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA).
- Download and print the provided free prepaid shipping label.
- Pack the insoles securely (in their original box if you have it, or any standard shipping box) and attach the label.
- Drop the package off at the designated carrier (usually USPS or FedEx).
- Track your package and wait for your refund.
How to Complete an In-Store Return (Retailer Purchases)
If you bought your insoles at a local running store, a sporting goods shop, or a shoe boutique, you must complete an in-store return.
- Locate your original paper receipt or digital email receipt.
- Bring the insoles to the store. (It is fine if you have to pull them directly out of your shoes at the register!)
- Inform the cashier that you are returning them under the Superfeet 60-Day Satisfaction Guarantee.
- The store will process the refund using their own point-of-sale system.

Refund Methods & Processing Time
If you return your insoles directly to Superfeet.com, your refund method will always be a credit back to your original form of payment (such as your Visa, Mastercard, or PayPal account). Superfeet does not issue paper checks or physical gift cards for online returns.
How long does it take? Once you drop your package off in the mail, it has to travel back to the Superfeet warehouse. After the warehouse team receives and inspects the package, the processing time is typically 5 to 10 business days. Depending on your bank, it may take an additional 2 to 3 days for the funds to actually appear on your credit card statement.
Superfeet Exchange Policy
Superfeet does not offer traditional, even exchanges through their website.
If you ordered a Size C (Green) and realize you actually need a Size D (Blue), you cannot simply swap them out in a single transaction. Instead, the exchange policy requires you to follow a "Return and Re-buy" process.
You must return your original insoles for a full refund using the steps above. Then, you can immediately place a brand-new order on Superfeet.com for the correct size or color. This ensures you get your new insoles shipped to you as fast as possible, rather than waiting weeks for a warehouse exchange to process.
Superfeet Warranty vs. Satisfaction Guarantee
It is easy to confuse a return policy with a warranty, but they cover two very different things.
- The 60-Day Satisfaction Guarantee: This is for fit, feel, and comfort. If the arch hurts, the heel cup is too wide, or you just don't like them, use this 60-day policy to get a refund.
- The 12-Month Limited Warranty: This is strictly for manufacturing defects. Superfeet covers their insoles against defects (like the hard plastic cap cracking in half, or the fabric peeling completely off the foam) for 12 months or 500 miles, whichever comes first.
If your insoles physically break down after 4 months of use, you cannot "return" them for a refund under the 60-day rule, but you can file a warranty claim to get a free replacement pair.
Non-returnable or Restricted Items
While the policy is generous, there are a few non-returnable items and scenarios where a return will be rejected:
- Final Sale Items: Any product clearly marked as "Final Sale" or "No Returns" at the time of checkout.
- Unauthorized Sellers: If you buy "new" Superfeet from a random seller on eBay, Poshmark, or an unverified third-party Amazon storefront, Superfeet will not honor the guarantee. You must buy from an authorized dealer.
- Intentional Damage: Trimming with scissors is fine. However, if your dog chews up the insole, or you accidentally melt them by leaving them on a radiator, the guarantee is voided.
- Custom Carbon Fiber Insoles: Some specialized, 3D-printed, or professional medical-grade Superfeet obtained through a podiatrist or fitting clinic have restricted terms. You must consult the clinic that fitted you.
Fees, Deductions & Exceptions
Nobody likes hidden fees when returning a product. Fortunately, Superfeet keeps it simple:
- Restocking Fee: Superfeet does not charge a restocking fee. You will get the full purchase price of the insoles back.
- Return Shipping: If you bought from Superfeet.com and live in the United States, return shipping is 100% free. The online portal will generate a prepaid label for you. (Note: International customers in Canada, the UK, or the EU must use their regional Superfeet websites and may face different shipping structures).
- Original Shipping Deductions: If you paid $8 for expedited overnight shipping when you first bought the insoles, that original shipping fee is non-refundable. You will only be refunded for the cost of the insoles and applicable taxes.
Holiday & Extended Return Policies
Superfeet maintains its standard 60-day window year-round. They do not typically offer a specific holiday return policy extension on Superfeet.com, mostly because 60 days is already long enough to cover purchases made in November that might be gifted in late December.
However, if you buy Superfeet at a retail partner like Amazon or REI during the holiday season (usually October through December), those specific stores often extend their return windows until January 31st. Always check your retailer's specific holiday rules if you are buying insoles as a gift.
Before You Return: The 5-Day "Break-In" Rule
Many people initiate a return on day two because their feet hurt. Before you print a shipping label, be aware that Superfeet require a break-in period.
Because the insoles use a firm, orthotic shape, they change the way your foot and ankles align. Superfeet recommends wearing them for only 1 to 2 hours the first day, 2 to 3 hours the next day, and slowly building up. It is incredibly common for your feet or calves to feel mild soreness for the first 3 to 5 days.
If you are still experiencing sharp pain after a week, the fit is wrong, and you should absolutely utilize the return policy.
Comparison: Superfeet Policy vs. Competitors
How does Superfeet stack up against other major insole brands?
Most over-the-counter gel insoles do not offer robust satisfaction guarantees, or they require you to mail physical receipts and UPC barcodes through the slow postal mail for a partial refund.
Superfeet’s willingness to take back trimmed insoles with zero hassle puts them at the top of the industry.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I return Superfeet if they are trimmed?
Yes. Trimming your insoles to fit your shoes is an expected part of the fitting process. Superfeet’s 60-Day Satisfaction Guarantee covers trimmed, used, and worn insoles without penalty.
Can I return Superfeet without a receipt?
Generally, no. Superfeet requires proof of purchase to process a refund. No-receipt returns are rarely accepted because the company needs to verify that you bought the items from an authorized dealer within the last 60 days. If you lost your paper receipt, try asking the store if they can look up your transaction using your credit card.
Can I return Superfeet if I threw away the original box?
Yes. While returning the insoles in their original packaging is preferred, it is not strictly required. As long as you have your original receipt and are within the 60-day window, your return should be accepted.
How long does a refund from Superfeet take?
Once your return package is delivered to the Superfeet warehouse, it takes about 5 to 10 business days for the team to inspect the item and issue the refund to your original payment method.
Does REI honor the 60-day Superfeet guarantee?
Yes. Authorized retailers like REI are required to honor the Superfeet brand guarantee. In fact, REI’s own return policy for members allows returns for up to one full year, which goes well beyond Superfeet’s 60-day limit.
Can I return an online order to a local store?
No. If you purchased your insoles directly from Superfeet.com, you cannot return them to a local running store or REI. You must use the online returns portal and mail them back to the manufacturer.
What do I do if an authorized retailer refuses my return?
If a local store refuses to take back trimmed Superfeet within 60 days (despite having your receipt), you should politely remind them of the Superfeet 60-Day Satisfaction Guarantee. If they still refuse, contact Superfeet customer service directly via phone or email for assistance.
Does Superfeet charge a restocking fee?
No. Superfeet does not charge any restocking fees. If you qualify for a return, you will receive a refund for the full purchase price of the insoles.
Are Superfeet sandals covered under the same 60-day policy?
Yes. Superfeet’s footwear line, including their sandals and recovery shoes, falls under the same 60-Day Satisfaction Guarantee. You can wear them outside and still return them if they cause pain.
How do I exchange my Superfeet for a different size?
Superfeet does not process direct exchanges by mail. You must return your original pair for a refund and place a separate, new order for the correct size or color on their website.
Disclaimer: Return policies may change at any time and can vary by location. Always confirm details on the official Superfeet website or with your local store. Information verified April 2026.
