It is our goal to ship our handmade shoes within one week of receiving your order, but it could take up to three weeks during busy times of the year, especially during the holiday season.
We do our best to keep our collection shoes in stock and ready to ship immediately, but it is always possible we will run out of the size and color you want to order. In that case, we will need to make the shoe before we can ship your order. Customized shoes made with your own color choices always require time to be made. Some shoes take longer to make than others. For example, RunAmocs take more time for us to prepare because we need an additional day to glue soles to the shoes.
If you are in a hurry and need your order to ship immediately then please contact our friendly customer service team. They can check to see which shoes are available to ship right away. Also, shoes in our clearance categories are always ready to ship within three business days.

This tax will be paid to your state government.

Call us if you need your order by a certain date and we will see what we can do to get your shoes made and shipped in time. We do not have a standard rush order service as we try to make everyone's shoes as quickly as possible and in the order received, but if you have a special occasion coming up then we'll do our best to help.
Please understand that during certain times of the year, such as busy holiday seasons, we cannot give special treatment to any orders since there are so many that need to ship out quickly.
We do our best to keep an inventory of our annual collection shoes in stock and ready to ship immediately, but we cannot guarantee we will have them in the size and width you need. If you would like to order our collection shoes for quick delivery then you may contact us to find out which colors and sizes are currently available. Alternatively, all shoes in our clearance categories are already made and ready for immediate shipping.
Fortunately, this is extremely rare. If you do think your package was lost in the mail, please contact us. When possible, we will verify the shipping address and trace tracking information. If the package does not show up after the appropriate wait time (after the shipment date) then we will file an insurance claim. Once filed, we will send a new order to you.
These are the times we are required to wait before filing insurance claims for missing or stolen packages:
Depending on the shipping service used, the customer may need to return a signed affidavit before a replacement order or refund can be initiated.
