Ordering and payment

What payment methods do you accept?
Credit card (Visa, Mastercard, American Express), PayPal, Alma for installment payments, as well as methods offered based on your country, such as Bancontact or iDEAL.
My payment was declined, what should I do?
Most often, your bank's 3D Secure authentication failed: the SMS code wasn't entered, the card isn't compatible, or there was a temporary issue. This step is managed by your bank, not by us. Try again, or use another payment method such as PayPal. If the problem persists, please email us.
Can I modify or cancel my order?
Yes, as long as it hasn't been prepared yet. Email us as soon as possible at info@belledonne.co with your order number. If it has already been shipped, you can return it upon receipt.
Why is a mobile phone number mandatory?
The carrier uses it to send you tracking SMS. An invalid number will block the shipment of your order.
Where can I find my invoice?
It is attached to your order confirmation email.
Do you offer promo codes?
Our prices are stable all year round. Occasional offers may take place, and our newsletter subscribers are the first to be notified. By signing up at the bottom of the page, you also receive €10 off your first order on purchases of €100 or more. Remember to check your spam folder.

Pre-orders

How does a pre-order work?
Some models are offered for sale before they arrive in stock. You reserve your size at the time of ordering, and the pair is shipped to you as soon as it arrives at our warehouse. The estimated shipping date is indicated on the product page.
When am I charged?
At the time of ordering, just like a standard purchase. You will immediately receive your confirmation email and invoice.
When will the B0 EAT & DRINK be shipped?
From the beginning of March 2027. Pre-orders are open until December 15, 2026. We will email you as soon as the pairs arrive at our warehouse, and you will receive your tracking number upon shipment.
What delivery method is available for the B0 EAT & DRINK?
Home delivery only, free of charge in metropolitan France. We do not offer relay points for this pair: between your order and its shipment in March, a relay point might have closed or changed addresses. For other countries, the usual home delivery rates apply and are displayed before payment.
Will the price change after the pre-order?
Yes. €180 is the launch price, reserved for pre-orders. The B0 EAT & DRINK will then be sold for €220.
Can I cancel a pre-order?
Yes, at any time before shipment. Email us at info@belledonne.co with your order number: you will be fully refunded.
Can I return a pre-ordered pair?
Yes, under the same conditions as any order: 14 days from receipt.
Can I order a pre-ordered pair and an in-stock pair together?
Yes, but the two pairs travel separately: the in-stock pair ships within 2 to 3 days, and the pre-ordered pair on its shipping date. The shipping costs for each shipment are displayed at the time of payment.

Delivery

What are the delivery methods and rates in metropolitan France?
Method Timeframe Rate
Mondial Relay, relay point 3 to 4 business days €5, free on purchases of €100+
Colissimo, relay point 3 to 5 business days €5
Colissimo, home 2 to 3 business days €8

How do I choose my relay point?
The choice is made just after payment, on the summary page. If you do not select one, the point closest to your address is chosen automatically. To change it before shipment, email us quickly.
Do you deliver outside of metropolitan France?
Yes. The carriers, rates, and timeframes depend on the country of delivery and are displayed before payment. For deliveries outside the European Union, customs duties and taxes are included: you will not be asked for anything upon receipt. We do not deliver to French Overseas Territories (DOM-TOM).
My package is marked as delivered but I haven't received it.
Check your mailbox and ask your neighbors: the mail carrier often hands the package to the first person present. If you cannot find it, email us. We will open an investigation with the carrier. A sworn statement will be requested.
My package was delivered to a different relay point than the one chosen.
When a relay point is full or closed, the carrier redirects the package to the nearest available point. The address is in your tracking. If this point does not work for you, email us.
I was unable to pick up my package in time.
After the holding period at the relay point, the package is returned to us. Contact us: we will offer you either a new shipment (shipping costs at your expense), or a refund under the same conditions as a return (with €5 deducted in metropolitan France).

Returns and exchanges

How much time do I have to return an item?
14 days from the receipt of your order.
How do I make a return or exchange?
Go to our return portal. Fill out the form to get your prepaid label, then include your delivery slip in the package.
How much does a return cost?
Exchange or credit Refund
Metropolitan France Free €5 deducted from refund
Europe €5 €10
Outside Europe €10 €15

Starting from the 2nd exchange on the same order, an €8 contribution is added. We recommend exchanging: it is faster and guarantees the availability of the desired product.

In what condition should I return my pair?
Unworn, undamaged, complete, and in its original box. Try your sneakers indoors on a clean surface: a pair worn outside or showing signs of wear cannot be exchanged or refunded and will be returned to you.
Can I exchange for another model?
Yes, for any available model and any available size. If the new model is more expensive, you pay the difference. If it is cheaper, the difference is returned to you as a store credit. You can also choose a credit for the total amount, which is free in France and valid for 12 months on belledonne.com.
When will I be refunded?
Upon receipt and verification of your return at our warehouse, and no later than 14 days after your request. Then allow 3 to 5 business days for the sum to appear in your account, using the payment method used for the order.
What is the status of my return?
Your return is processed upon its arrival at our warehouse. You will receive an automatic email as soon as it is validated.

Sizing and fitting

How do I choose my size?
A size guide appears on each product page, under the size selection. Still hesitant? Email us your usual size or the length of your foot in centimeters. And if the size doesn't fit, exchanges are free in metropolitan France.
Can I try your models in a store?
We do not have any physical retail locations. Order your size: exchanges are free in metropolitan France.
My pair feels rigid, is that normal?
Yes. The leather and reinforcements, which guarantee durability, soften after a few wears and adapt to your foot. To speed up the process, you can use a shoe tree in your size.
Is the insole removable?
Yes, on all our models. You can therefore replace it with your own orthopedic insoles.

Our products

Where are your sneakers made?
They are assembled by hand in our partner workshop in São João da Madeira, near Porto, Portugal, using leathers tanned in Portugal and Italy.
What materials do you use?
Smooth leather, suede, and nubuck, rubber soles, and cotton laces. On most of our models, the sole is stitched and glued. On some models, including those with a Vibram sole, the design of the sole limits stitching. An extra pair of laces is included in each box.
How do I care for my sneakers?
For smooth leather, brush the pair, apply a cleansing cream with a cloth using circular motions, let it dry, and then apply a waterproofing spray. For suede and nubuck, use a crepe brush and a special suede eraser. For grease stains, apply Terre de Sommières. For the soles, a damp sponge and a little dish soap are sufficient.
A model is sold out, will it be reissued?
Our permanent models are restocked regularly. Sign up for the email alert on the product page to be notified as soon as they are back in stock. Past collection models are not reissued.

A problem with your pair

My pair has a defect, what should I do?
Email us at info@belledonne.co with your order number and photos of the defect, the entire pair, and the soles. Your products are covered by a 2-year legal warranty of conformity. After examining your photos, we will offer you an exchange, store credit, or refund, depending on the case.
