What's Adidas' Return Policy?

Adidas' return policy allows consumers unsatisfied with their purchase in a store or at adidas.com to return their Adidas purchase for a full refund within 30 days. Items purchased at an Adidas store location can be returned for a full refund to any store in the United States with the original receipt. Online purchases through adidas.com or special orders made in a store and shipped to you must be returned by mail.

To receive a full refund, items must meet the following standards:

• Items must have the original packaging and be in unused condition
• Original tags must be on all apparel
• Footwear must be in the original shoebox
• Accessories must have all parts of the original packaging

Personalized products are not returnable because they are made specifically for the buyer.

Additionally, you cannot return Adidas shoes after 30 days.

Can I Return an Item to Adidas without the box or original package?

All returns to Adidas must be in their original packaging and have the original tags attached. For example, apparel must not be worn or laundered and have the original tags still attached, and shoes must be unworn and have the original shoebox and all tags still attached.

Can I return Adidas shoes after wearing them?

The Verdict

Adidas offers many unique sports apparel and accessories to athletes and people who live active lifestyles. We give Adidas a return policy score of 2.5 because the company has strict policies regarding the condition of items required for the company to accept a return. In addition, the return policy does not allow consumers to return items after being worn, which does not allow consumers to test out products to determine overall satisfaction.
