Product, Sizing & Care

Our website has features to help you order with confidence.

SIZE SELECTION
For ease, you can switch between US, UK, EU sizing, and centimeters, using the "choose size" dropdown above the size selector. This feature allows you to shop in the format that is easiest for you.

While your cart, and checkout, will display styles in the format you chose to shop in, your order confirmation will revert to the manufacturers format. Rest assured our Team will pack your order as per your selection.

TRY THEM ON
Remembering that a properly fitting shoe should feel snug at the heel and midfoot, with wiggle room around the toes.

Our size guides are kept updated on our website.

SIZE GUIDES
Our website features a comprehensive library of size guides.

Additionally, each product listing has a detailed size guide, which can be found next to the size selector. 

With the right approach and a bit of care, you can ensure a comfortable fit and lasting wear.

FINDING THE PERFECT FIT
Before diving into breaking in your new shoes, ensure you've got the right fit. A properly fitting shoe should feel snug at the heel and midfoot, with wiggle room around the toes.

TAKE IT SLOW
Start by wearing your new shoes for short periods, gradually increasing wear time. Wear them around the house initially, so you can easily take them off if discomfort arises.

For leather styles, wearing thick socks offers added cushioning and aids in accelerating the softening process. You might also want to consider a leather conditioner, which not only softens the leather but also provides a protective coating.

TIGHTEN UP THOSE LACES
While it may seem counterintuitive, tightening your laces can speed up the break-in process by stretching the upper. Keep your laces snug to encourage the shoe to mold to your foot and prevent rubbing.

SILENCE THE SQUEAK
Squeaky shoes are often due to moisture or friction. To fix this, use baby or talcum powder. Remove the inner sole, sprinkle powder inside, and let it sit overnight to absorb moisture. Shake out excess powder the next day.

KEEP UP THE CARE
We recommend using a sneaker protector to form a barrier against dirt and stains, making cleaning easier. For cleaning, promptly remove excess dirt or moisture to prevent long-term damage, always use cleaning products specifically designed for sneakers, and avoid washing them in the machine, as this can damage fastenings and glue.

TREADLIGHTLY SPORTS SHOE RECYCLING
Australia imports over 25 million pairs of sports shoes each year, with only around 1% estimated to be recycled. These shoes can take up to 1,000 years to decompose in landfill.

To address this environmental challenge, we have teamed up with the Australian Sporting Goods Association (ASGA) to support the TreadLightly program. TreadLightly is a nationwide initiative dedicated to the responsible recycling of unwanted lifestyle footwear in Australia.

The program processes reclaimed materials into crumb, which is then used to produce new items such as gym mats, flooring, and playground surfaces.

Many of our stores serve as TreadLightly collection points. However, you can also search for the nearest collection point and find more details on the TreadLightly website.

We prioritise quality, ethics, comfort, and style, ensuring our products and manufacturers meet our standards.

OWNED BRANDS
Across our operations, Accent Group owned brands continue to utilise a bespoke onboarding process for new suppliers and manufacturing facilities. Our onboarding process requires a formal and staged approval process that includes an assessment of the suppliers’ suitability to manufacture or supply products to Accent Group. Once an assessment is completed to our satisfaction, the relevant General Manager must approve the onboarding request before moving forward.

Prior to onboarding, suppliers must sign and return a copy of the Accent Group Ethical Sourcing Policy and demonstrate that an independent, valid social compliance audit has been completed. Once received, the social compliance audit is assessed internally.

In addition to the Accent Group Ethical Sourcing Policy, we also ensure suppliers receive a copy of our
Manufacturing Agreement, which sets out the terms and expectations which our suppliers must agree to in order to manufacture and supply products to Accent Group.

The Manufacturing Agreement applies to all suppliers of Accent Group owned brands and is expected be signed and returned to us by all such suppliers to Accent Group.
