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 US 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.
Pricing tiers, based on condition:
- Irregular, 45% off: These have minor defects or signs of use, but are still very presentable. If you get it and it's not acceptable to you, we'll cover your return shipping to upgrade to a higher tier.
- Flexpoint, 10% off: With all leather shoes, normal creasing occurs at the shoe's flexpoint, almost immediately upon trying on.
- New (no box), 5% off: These are only here because the original branded box was damaged in shipping. The shoes are in brand-new condition.

The Product
Inspired by the winged Goddess of Victory herself, Victoria women’s wingtip oxfords are an uncompromising embodiment of classic elegance and healthy barefoot movement. Italian styling and intricate brogue detailing attract the wandering eye while the hidden zero-drop heel and wide toe box allow your feet to move as nature intended. In your daily pursuit of excellence, pair this almost-impossible combination of barefoot design and sleek styling with a dress, slacks or cropped jeans for an unexpectedly stunning look and feel.

- 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!

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.
