Returns & Refunds Policy

Last updated: 26.02.26


Online Returns (Distance Sales)

If your online purchase is not suitable, you have the right to cancel your order under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013.

You must notify us within 14 days of receiving your goods that you wish to cancel. You then have a further 14 days to return the goods to us.

To initiate a return, please complete our Online Returns Form and include it with your item(s).

Returned items must be:

  • Unused
  • In their original condition
  • With all original packaging and labels attached

You must include your Foothills order number and clear instructions regarding whether you require a refund or exchange.


Exchanges (Online Orders)

If you would prefer an exchange (for example, a different size or colour), please indicate this clearly when returning your item.

Exchanges are subject to stock availability.

If the requested replacement is unavailable, we will issue a refund instead.

If the replacement item is of higher value, you will be required to pay the difference before dispatch. If it is of lower value, we will refund the difference.


Return Postage (Online Orders)

Unless the goods are faulty or incorrect, return postage costs are the responsibility of the customer.

Returned goods remain the responsibility of the customer until they are safely received by us. We strongly recommend using a reliable tracked or signed-for service and retaining proof of postage, as we cannot be responsible for items lost or damaged in transit.

Due to previous delivery issues, we do not recommend using Evri for returns. We cannot accept responsibility for lost or delayed items.

Proof of postage does not constitute proof of delivery.


Refunds (Online Orders – Non-Faulty Goods)

Once we receive your returned goods, we will process your refund within 14 days.

Refunds will be issued using the original payment method.

We will refund:

  • The cost of the goods
  • The standard delivery charge (if the entire order is cancelled)

We are not required to refund any premium delivery upgrades selected at checkout.

We may make a deduction from your refund if the goods show signs of use beyond what is necessary to inspect them.


In-Store Returns

For items purchased in-store, we offer refunds, exchanges or credit notes within 21 days of purchase, provided that:

  • The item is unused
  • It is returned in its original condition
  • You provide proof of purchase

This 21-day returns period forms part of our customer service commitment, including our boot fit guarantee.

Refunds will be issued using the original payment method where possible.

After 21 days, refunds or exchanges are offered only if the goods are faulty or not as described, in accordance with the Consumer Rights Act 2015.

This policy does not affect your statutory rights.


Faulty Goods

Your rights regarding faulty goods are protected under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.

If goods are faulty, not as described, or not fit for purpose:

  • Please contact us as soon as possible.

You are entitled to a full refund within the first 30 days of delivery if the item is faulty.
  • After 30 days, we will offer a repair or replacement in accordance with your statutory rights.

Where appropriate and reasonable, faulty goods may be repaired rather than replaced. If repair is not possible or cannot be completed within a reasonable time, we will provide an appropriate remedy in accordance with your statutory rights.

If an item is confirmed as faulty.

  • We will provide a free return postage label, or
  • Refund your reasonable return postage costs.

Some items may need to be returned for inspection or testing before a fault is confirmed.


Excluded Items

For hygiene reasons, we do not accept returns of underwear unless faulty.

This does not affect your statutory rights.


Condition of Returned Items

For health and safety reasons, all clothing and footwear returned must be clean.

The Health and Safety at Work Act prohibits us from asking staff to handle soiled items. We reserve the right to refuse returns that are not returned in a hygienic condition.

Nikwax Tech Wash

Season:CORE

Brand:Nikwax

Code:NikwaxTW

The Nikwax Tech Wash is the No.1 easy to use, safe, high performance cleaner for wet weather clothing and equipment.

The water-repellent treatment on which the garment relies is highly durable. However, excessive amounts of dirt will attract water, reducing the garment’s performance. It is important to wash the garment regularly with Nikwax Tech Wash. This will remove the soiling without damaging the water-repellent treatment, thereby revitalising the water-repellency.

As a rough guide, depending upon frequency and conditions of use, we advise washing every 4-8 weeks. When used in wet conditions, water should form droplets on the outer fabric. Rapid wetting of the outer fabric in rain is a sure sign that water- repellency is fading and washing is required. Reproofing of the garment with Nikwax TX.Direct should be carried out every 6—12 months, or when washing with Tech Wash fails to revitalise the water-repellency. Running water over a sleeve will assess this.

Páramo garments can be repaired very simply. Tears in the fabric can be sewn up or patched, provided that the stitch seam is limited to one layer of the garment, i.e., it does not pass through both theouter and lining. The latter would lead to leakage.

Foothills offers this repair service: basic repairs can be carried out in-house, and more complicated repairs will be referred to Paramo.

To remove heavy soiling or stains, you may use detergent. This will not permanently damage the garment, but will remove the water-repellent treatment. After a detergent wash, you re-wash the garment with Tech Wash and reproof with TX.Direct. The original water-repellency and “as new” performance will then be restored.
