Exchanges, returns & complaints: Are you unhappy with your delivery?
That can happen, and it’s almost impossible to avoid in online retail – but we’re still committed to finding the right shoe for every foot 👣.
Before you send your shoes back, please do have a quick chat with us. Perhaps together we can find a solution: a different size, a more suitable style – or maybe all it takes is swapping the insoles for thinner or thicker ones.
We’ll take the time – for you and your feet.

🔧 Complaints – working together towards a sustainable solution
Has something gone wrong with your Doghammer shoe? If so, please contact us directly by email at [email protected]. To help us sort this out quickly and easily, we’ll need a few details from you:
- a photo of the whole shoe
- one or more photos of the affected area
With these photos, we can assess – in the spirit of sustainability – whether we can repair the shoe here in our workshop. This way, we avoid unnecessary waste and give your Doghammer a new lease of life. 💚
Please note: We can only assess your enquiry and provide you with appropriate feedback if you send us the photos. We’ll get back to you as soon as possible.
