A size chart per product, because an 8 is not an 8

A UK 8 sneaker and a UK 8 formal shoe do not fit the same foot. Different lasts, different brands, different tolerances. A single store-wide size chart is a promise you cannot keep.

Size charts are set per product. A running shoe carries its own measurements, a sandal carries different ones, and the buyer sees the chart that actually applies to the pair in front of them.

This is unglamorous work, and it is the single highest-return change a footwear brand can make online. A buyer who measures against the correct chart orders the correct size, and that order does not come back.

Return windows that match the product

Applying one return policy to the whole catalogue means you are either too generous on the lines that get returned most, or too strict on the ones that barely come back.

Return windows are configured per product. Everyday styles can carry a longer window because they are safer. Clearance stock, made-to-order pairs and limited runs can carry a shorter one, stated plainly on the page before the buyer commits.

Returns and exchange management keeps the requests in one queue with status. In footwear most returns are exchanges, not refunds — the customer wants the next size, not their money back. Handling that cleanly keeps the sale instead of losing it.

RTO is the other half of the leak

Size returns are the visible problem. Refused COD deliveries are the invisible one, and in footwear they run high because the order is often placed on impulse.

RTO prevention tooling flags risky orders before they ship. Partial COD on the Pro plan takes a small advance so a buyer has something at stake — the same mechanic jewellers use for a different reason, and it works here too.

Courier automation and Shiprocket integration keep tracking clean for the orders that do go out, so "where is my order" stops arriving in your inbox.

Photograph the fit, not just the shoe

The stores with the lowest return rates are the ones that show the shoe on a foot, from several angles, with something for scale.

Multi-image galleries and product video support that directly. Custom attributes carry the details that decide fit — width, sole height, material, closure type — as structured fields the buyer can actually read.

The customer reviews system does the rest. In footwear, buyer reviews carry fit information no product page can — "runs small, order one size up" is the most valuable sentence on any shoe page, and it has to come from a customer to be believed.

Measure your return rate before you change anything else

Most footwear brands know their returns are high but cannot say which styles cause them. Without that, every fix is guesswork.

Order management and returns management together give you the number per product, not just for the store. Once you can see that three styles account for most of your returns, the fix becomes obvious — correct those size charts, add a fit note, or drop the style.

Google Analytics shows the other half: which pages people leave without buying. A product with heavy traffic and no orders usually has a missing photograph or a size chart nobody trusts.

None of this is complicated. It is simply information most stores never collect, and it is the difference between guessing at your margin problem and actually fixing it.
