How do we pack the shoes?

Returns
How do I request a return?

If you want to request a return, please contact our customer service team with your order number and reason for return. We will provide you with further instructions.

Who pays for return shipping?

Return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer, unless the return is due to a defect or error on our part. We offer a paid return label, which in many cases is cheaper than paying the return costs yourself. If you are from any of these countries, you will receive the link to the portal from us as soon as you request a return number.

How long do I have to return my order?

Products that were bought from stock can always be returned within 14 days, provided the items are in their original condition and packaging. Return and exchange for a different size or colour is always possible when this model is still in stock. For EU customers one exchange is free.  

How long does it take to process my return shipment?

Returns are usually processed within 7 business days of receiving the returned item. Please allow additional time for your bank to process the refund.

Can I return my custom made boots?

Custom orders are generally non-refundable, as they are made to your specific measurements and design preferences. Only in case of imminent production faults, custom made-to-order and made-to-measure footwear can be exchanged. 

Custom orders
What is the production time for custom orders?

Production time for custom orders depends on the number of custom models that must be made. Usually it takes between 4 to 9 weeks for a custom model to be manufactured.

Can I return my custom made boots?

Custom orders are generally non-refundable, as they are made to your specific measurements and design preferences. Only in case of imminent production faults, custom made-to-order and made-to-measure footwear can be exchanged.  

Which models can be custom made?

Almost all in-stock models on Sanctum Shoes can be custom-made. If you cannot find your desired model on the custom heels & boots page, please contact our customer support. We may still be able to fulfill your custom request.

How do I provide my measurements for custom boots?

We will provide a measurement PDF for you to complete. Please return the filled PDF via email with your order number. If you need any help with measuring your legs, visit our take your measurements page or contact customer support

Sizing & fit
How do I determine my correct shoe size?

We provide a detailed sizing chart on most product pages. We recommend measuring your foot and legs and comparing it to our chart for the most accurate fit. If you are between sizes, we suggest sizing up.

Are Sanctum Shoes' heels & boots true to size?

Our footwear generally runs true to size, but variations may occur depending on the style and material. Please refer to our sizing chart and customer reviews for guidance.

Can I get assistance with sizing if I'm unsure?

Yes, our customer service team is happy to assist you with sizing. Please contact us with your foot and leg measurements, and we can provide personalized recommendations.

Materials & care
How do I protect and care for my leather boots?

We recommend using a waterproof leather protector spray. Regularly applying a high-quality leather cream will maintain the appearance of your boot. 

How do I care for patent leather boots?

Patent leather is best cleaned with a damp cloth. Avoid using regular shoe polish or brushes, as they can damage the finish. Use a patent leather cleaner and a soft cloth to maintain the shine. Store patent leather shoes separately to prevent color transfer.

What materials do you use?

We use premium materials, such as: nappa leather, patent leather and vegan leather.

Payments
What payment methods do you accept?

We accept iDeal, bank transfer, Creditcard (Visa, MasterCard, American Express), PayPal, and Klarna.

Why do I pay extra fees for Paypal?

Paypal offers extra services to protect customers when buying online. It is like insurance. Paypal is also very expensive. We pay 4-6% extra costs on top of the costs of a credit card or bank transfer. 

We do not think it is fair if we have other customers pay for the insurance that some of our customers want via Paypal. 

We, therefore, ask the customer to pay their insurance fee themselves. 

Creditcard payments: why do you get a validation email?

Some creditcards do not have the 3D security feature that is required for European payments. Most of the USA and some German creditcards do not have this feature yet. Your creditcard provider will ask for a confirmation for the payment instead. Please answer this email and confirm the payment. You may also choose a different payment option like paypal or bank transfer.  

Fraud detection email from your creditcard company?

For customers from the US: you might receive a "fraud detection" notice from your credit card issuer after ordering in our store. This is a standard notice if your creditcard does not yet have "3D Secure" protection for transactions outside the USA. You will have to confirm your payment to us with the credit card issuer before we can process your order and receive your payment.
