Returning outlet shoes at regular stores is not guaranteed, but following these steps can improve your chances of a successful resolution:
• Gather your original receipt and original packaging to show that you purchased the shoes from a Skechers outlet store.
• Explain your situation politely. Mention that you didn't notice the flaws until you returned to your hometown and expressed your desire for assistance.
• If the cashier is unable to assist you, please ask to speak with a supervisor or manager. They may have more leeway in resolving the problem.
• If the regular store still refuses the return, consider contacting Skechers customer service. They might be able to help you return the shoes or advise you on how to get a refund or exchange.
