According to Converse's return policy, you have 30 days to try out their product. If you don't like it for whatever reason, you can return it and get a full refund. However, the product must be in good condition, with all original labels and tags attached.

If you exceed the 30 days, you can still return the product, but it has to be in the original packaging, unwashed, unworn, and in a resalable condition.

Converse can decide to extend the return period from 30 to 60 days during the festive seasons. Still, certain restrictions apply to certain products. Customers are advised to read the labels carefully for specific guidelines on the return policy for certain products.

In the case of customized products, you can return them within 30 days if the product is defective or has a flaw. When you request to return a product, Converse will cover the shipping costs as long as you are within the continental U.S.

This perk isn't available for those living in U.S. territories like the U.S. Virgin Islands, Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa and Guam, and Puerto Rico.

If you buy converse products from an online retailer or a third-party vendor, you will have to ask them about their return policy, as different sellers will have different policies. Converse.com only accepts products bought from converse.com.

However, if you bought products from converse.com, you can return them at a converse store near you to avoid waiting too long for the shipping, exchange, or refund process.

Does Converse Give You a Return Label?

If your box didn't come with a return label or you have misplaced yours, getting a new one is easy. Click on the Start a Return link, fill in your details, and print the return label.
