FAQ

SIZING

What size should I buy?

Fleeters are true to size for most people who have tried them. We recommend selecting your usual size. If you are between two sizes, we suggest going with the larger one. Our size chart is available to help you choose the Fleeters size that best fits your feet.

If my size does not fit, can I request an exchange ?

Of course, you will have 14-days to request your exchange through our Return Portal

PRODUCT AVAILABILITIES

Why are some products only available for pre-order?

We are a slow fashion company committed to producing our items using ethical and sustainable practices. A big part of this commitment revolves around producing the right quantity of items to minimize overproduction and reduce waste. When you place a pre-order, your payment will be collected upfront to reserve your item. There is a 15% discount on pre-order purchases versus stock purchases.

Why are there different prices displayed?

Our pricing options are based on your purchase type. 

  • A pair of Fleeters is priced at 159€ for a direct order. This means your item is available in stock and will be shipped within a few days. 
  • We currently offer a few discontinued models at a reduced price of 139€.
  • For pre-order purchases (i.e. your Fleeters are not produced yet), we offer a 15% discount compared to the stock price to compensate for the delivery delay. A pair will cost you 135.50€ on pre-order.
When will you receive some new stock?

No restocking is planned at the moment on our current collection. However, our new collection will be arriving in a few weeks, bringing you exciting new designs and some similar styles. Stay tuned for pre-orders opening end of October!

Why are some items not available to order?

If an item is not available to purchase online with either an order or a pre-order, it means it will not be back in production. However, we will feature similar designs in our upcoming Autumn collection.

When a size option is not displayed, it does not exist anymore for this specific model.

PRODUCTS' FEATURES

Where and how are your items produced?

Our products are manufactured in Portugal and made from environmentally friendly materials, which are recycled and bio-based. We make it a priority to reduce the impact of our sneakers’ production and minimize waste. To do so, we work with BCome to make sure everything - from the composition of our sneakers to the manufacture and transport of raw materials - is traceable.

Learn more about our shoes’ components and BCome.

How big are your shoes’ soles?

Barefoot shoes are designed to get you closer to Earth. Our Fleeters’ soles are 5mm thick.

Is there a drop in your shoes?

There isn’t any drop in our Fleeters. Barefoot shoes are flat by definition allowing for an overall better body posture.

Is there a design difference between women and men models?

Our women and men models are the same shape and volume.

Are Fleeters socks barefoot and made from bio-based materials too?

Our barefoot socks are made of 90% cotton and 10% nylon. They have been developed with a larger toebox to provide maximum comfort for your toes, combined with great freedom of movement. They represent an adapted version of true toe socks. We are still in the development phase for this pair of socks. Our long-term goal is to achieve a pair of 100% barefoot socks that meet your expectations.

 Is sole flexibility a feature of a barefoot shoe?

The flexibility of the sole is a feature of barefoot shoes. A flexible sole adapts to your foot's movements, allowing it to move naturally. This flexibility is intentional, enabling the shoe to adapt perfectly to your movements.

RETURNS, EXCHANGES, REFUNDS

I picked the wrong size or model, can I ask for an exchange?

Of course, you can request the exchange through our RETURN PORTAL . You will then receive a return label. We cover the shipping cost for exchanges.

You will have 2 options when going through this process:

#1 Exchange for the item of your choice available in stock. Postage included!

#2 Receive a voucher valid for a year and including an extra 12.99€ for you to purchase a complementary pair of socks.

N.B.: Although, sizing can slightly vary according to one's preferences and habits (i.e. if you like wearing your shoes tight for example) our comprehensive size chart should help you pick the correct Fleeters size for your feet.

How long is the exchange process?

Our exchange process takes about two weeks from the time you send your return until it's validated by our warehouse. Once this validation is completed by our team, we automatically create a new order and proceed with its shipment. You will receive an email containing your new order number.

What is your refund policy?

You have 14 days after receiving your item to request a Refund through our RETURN PORTAL

By going through this process you will then receive a return label.

We will assume part of the shipping cost but a small amount will remain at your charge (5€ for Europe, 25USD for the US). As a startup, we are not yet able to cover the whole shipping for this kind of request.

To be eligible for a return, your item must be in its original condition and packaging. Once your item is back in our warehouse and checked, we will issue your refund and you will be notified by e-mail. It usually takes a few days for this refund to arrive in your bank account.

How long will it take to receive my refund?

The refund takes about 5 to 10 business days to be processed once we receive your returned item. You will receive a confirmation email once the refund has been issued.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Fleeters are made waterproof?

Our Fleeters are handmade with environmentally friendly materials. They are suitable for regular weather conditions; however, they are not 100% waterproof, so they are not recommended for heavy rain or storms.

How do I care for my Fleeters?

To preserve the original quality of your pair, gently clean them with neutral soap and a damp cloth. Avoid using a washing machine to prevent irreversible damage.
