How returns work

You have two return options. You can start a free return online, receive a QR code by email, and drop off your shoes in their original box at a Happy Returns Bar location for an immediate refund or free exchange. Alternatively, you can return by mail using a pre-paid FedEx or USPS label, though this method carries a $9.95 fee.

Exclusions and restrictions

Rykä does not accept returns of worn shoes or final sale items. Exchanges are limited to the same style in a different color, or to different colors within the same product group. You cannot exchange for a different style entirely.

Refunds

If you use the Happy Returns Bar method, you receive your refund immediately or your exchange ships free. If you return by mail, refunds take up to 3 weeks to process after the retailer receives your shoes.
