Can You Return Worn Shoes To Walmart?

If for whatever reason, you are not satisfied with your shoes, whether they are the wrong size or uncomfortable, Walmart will give you a full refund as long as you have your receipt (bringing the box can also help with the return).

However, Walmart can deny a return if they feel like the pair of shoes (e.g., work boots, hiking boots, running shoes, etc.) have been damaged or worn out by excessive use.

Does Walmart Return Shoes Without A Receipt?

Yes, Walmart does allow customers to return shoes without a receipt for either a store credit or exchange.

Walmart Associates will need the shoes in their original box and a form of photo ID to perform a transaction verification process to authorize the product’s return eligibility.

Shoes worth less than $25 will be refunded by cash, whereas the value of shoes worth $25 and over will be loaded onto a Walmart gift card.

Additionally, Walmart store managers have the right to decline unauthorized returns without a receipt if they suspect foul play.
