Shipping & Returns
We want to provide an excellent customer experience, so the Outlet Store will have the same free shipping and 365 day test-drive guarantee. However, we also want to keep these prices as low as possible, so there are some differences in service levels from the Main Store.
Outlet Store ships only once or twice a week, typically packing on Tuesday nights and dropping off on Wednesdays, but subject to change.
Outlet Store provides free return labels for exchanges or store credit. If you return for a refund, you'll have to pay the cost of the label (it will be deducted from your refund), or use your own label.
About Aromatic Cedar
The Native Americans have known about the many uses of Juniperus virginiana, aka aromatic cedar, for centuries. It is the best material to use for shoe trees, as the wood is very light, very durable, and the aromatic properties not only keep your shoes fresh, they also keep away pests that may damage your shoes. Aromatic cedar is harvested sustainably in North America, where it grows in abundance.
Article: Why Use Shoe Trees?
Please see our full policy on Shipping, Returns, Exchanges.
- Care for your Carets by using a shoe cream that allows for conditioning, shine, and water resistance. We recommend Saphir Médaille D'Or Shoe Cream which is made from all natural ingredients.
- Use a shoe horn to slip on your shoes whenever possible.
- After wearing your Carets, properly store them by slipping shoe trees (available at the Outlet Store) inside to help maintain their shape.
- As with all leather, try to avoid water, mud, snow, and salt. If your Carets get dirty, clean them off as soon as possible.
- Be sure to rotate your Carets with other shoes, as even the nicest dress shoes can wear out from constant use.
- Despite their comfort, try to refrain from exercising in your Carets!
Here are our Frequently Asked Questions.


Zero-Drop in Disguise
Carets appear to have a heel, but your foot rests inside it for a zero-drop fit. You get the same natural and upright posture as being barefoot for happy ankles, knees, and back, but with a sophisticated look. Without a heel, other minimalist dress shoes simply don’t look high-end.
