Famous Footwear gives you 60 days to return unworn shoes, extended to 90 for Gold Rewards members, and in-store returns don't require a receipt or even the original box.
No Receipt or Box Needed for In-Store Returns
Famous Footwear's in-store returns are notably low-friction: no receipt, no box, and no restocking fee. An associate can look up your purchase using the card you paid with or your Famously YOU Rewards account. Mailing a return back instead carries a flat $7.95 processing fee, deducted from your refund once the item is received.
