Frequently Asked Questions

We proudly offer free exchanges, no questions asked. As long as they’re undamaged and in "like new" condition, we encourage you to find the right fit. If you wish to return or exchange your pair of Pontos for any reason, you have 30 days after delivery to initiate a return/exchange. Sale items are ineligible for return and may only be exchanged for items of equal or lesser value. Learn more about our returns/exchange policy here.

Please see our step by step guide here:

If you purchased an item at a marked down or sale price, your item is not eligible for a return or refund. You can still exchange for a new item or receive a store credit if your item doesn't work for you. If you want to find out what items are exchange only, check the listed price point - if the original price is crossed out with sale price displayed next to it, your item falls into this category. You will also see "exchange only" mentioned in the product description.

We designed our shoes to fit true-to-size without socks. If your size varies between brands, you have wider feet, or if you want to wear socks, we recommend ordering up a 1/2 size from your most normal athletic shoe size.

They sure do (a little bit)! Our recycled leather is REAL leather, so it stretches and breaks in like real leather.

Yep! The insoles are fully removable so you can pop your own inserts in there if you would like.

The recycled leather is certified water repellent and highly durable

• For small spots and dirt, clean with water and rub with a rag/sponge
• In the case they get wet, it’s still best to dry with a cloth
• In the case you feel the need to condition the leather at some point, we recommend using Leather Honey.
• The insoles are removable and can be washed with soap and water.

Our shoes are not zero drop - there is about 10mm of lift between the heel and the toe.

We work incredibly hard to make sure that every aspect of our products are not only high quality, but of the highest level of sustainability that we can craft. Whether it's the leather scraps we repurpose, or the organic fibers we utilize to combat synthetic plastic weaves, or just the simplicity of offsetting our carbon footprint at every stage of operation, Ponto wants to ensure the planet for future generations. If you have specific questions about a product, please email us at info@pontofootwear.com.

Our shoes are currently made in Dongguan, China. Our sustainable sourcing partner and the factory we use are quite reputable. The factory has high standards in terms of labor and how they treat their employees as well as quality. We plan to eventually bring all production here to the US.

We want to keep our shoes out of landfills so we’ve included measures to ensure circularity. Any shoes that are new and unused are returned to our inventory to be resold. If the returns are not in brand new, sellable condition, they are donated to Soles 4 Souls or added to our Resale Shop to be sold at a lower price.
