how do I pay for my order?
Payments may be made by credit or debit card, and ShopPay, ApplePay, GPay, PayPal and AfterPay. Some credit and debit cards are subject to validation and authorisation by both the card issuer and us. This is to help maintain security and prevent fraud.
when do you take payment?
We debit payment as soon as your order is placed. However, if you pay using Afterpay this will be divided into four instalments over 6 weeks.
my payment has not been authorised or has been declined
Please check your billing and card details and re-enter these if you think that you have made a mistake, or use an alternative payment method. Please remember also that even if a payment is not authorised some card issuers still reserve the money, meaning you can’t access those funds for a short period. Should your payment be declined, please contact your issuing bank in the first instance for advice.

Once your order has been placed, it is not possible to change or alter it. Please do advise us of any errors as soon as possible by emailing hello@irregularchoice.com.au and we will do our best to assist accordingly.

I haven't received any emails or newsletters from you!

If you checked this and are still not getting our fantastic newsletter, make sure you typed in the correct email address when you signed up with us. Just sign into your account to verify.

We will then advise on how to proceed with the return. You have 28 days from receipt of the faulty item to return it to us, and we will do our best to assist you!

product information and availibility
what size am I?
Naturally we want you to buy the right size, so please check out the sizing conversion information on our Size Guide page.
You will also find reviews from our customers on each product page, where you can get extra information on fit to help you choose the perfect size!
Irregular Choice footwear is graded using Womens Euro sizes only, so you will find only euro sizes are stamped on the shoe. The shoe box packaging, however, sometimes has dual sizes displayed, i.e Euro / USA sizes.
heel tips wear and care
The heel tips used by our factories are made to the recommended hardness to ensure good wear quality and yet not be too hard to cause slip problems. Given the nature and size of the heel tips, they will wear down depending on use. Also it is not uncommon that they may come off during wear. If a heel tip is missing or loose/worn, replace these ASAP to prevent damage to the shoe. We recommend that heel tips are also replaced before they wear down completely to ensure that the heels are not damaged. An increasing number of our styles are supplied as standard with spare heel tips where possible, and these can be refitted by your trusted local cobbler.
are your styles vegetarian or vegan?
If the item you received is faulty, please contact us at hello@irregularchoice.com.au, quoting your order number, your name and address, details of the product and the issue found, and whether you require a refund or a replacement. We will then advise on how to proceed with the return. You have 28 days from receipt of the faulty item to return it to us, and we will do our best to assist you!
tell me about the flashing lights and sounds
Some of our styles have amazing extra features like lights and sounds! Woohoo! Most styles that feature light-up LED components have concealed, non-replaceable batteries, and an on/off switch. Full details and instructional videos for each style will be shown on the product page. If you need any further assistance, please contact us and we'll be happy to help!
For styles which have rechargeable batteries, each charge should take at most 2 hours. We don't recommend wearing any light-up styles in particularly wet weather, or submerging in water or puddles, for example, as this will damage the style and wiring. Micro USB cables are generally not provided with each style in an effort to minimise cable wastage (we hope that most people will already have a suitable cable at home already!).
the product I want to buy shows as in-stock but out of stock at checkout!
It sounds like you were beaten to the punch by another customer who managed to checkout successfully before you, and snag the last available item. Once an item has sold out, it may take a short while for the website to catch up and show this on the product page. You may still be able to add the item to your basket, however when you come to checkout it will check that stock is still available before allowing you to proceed - if the item has sold out in the interim you won't be able to place your order until the out of stock items are removed from your basket.
a product is showing as out of stock, will you be selling it again?
We know there is nothing worse than the item that you want being out of stock. Unfortunately we have to discontinue some styles at the end of each season to keep our product range fresh and exciting. If the product you want has sold out or is no longer available you may be able to sign up for a back in stock alert for that size/style on the product page and we will email you straight away as soon as the product becomes available. Alternatively you can check our main website irregularchoice.com for more stock.
I've seen one of your products advertised but can't find it online!
Just type the name of the item or its code into the search box at the top of each page and it will show you any matching results. If you can't find it, or you're not sure what you're looking for, please contact us at hello@irregularchoice.com.au with as many details as you can remember and we will have a look for you.
can I recycle your products?
Shoes, clothes, bags and boxes can all be recycled. Recycling areas are often found in most supermarket forecourts. There are many charities that will gladly accept used shoes and clothing. It is not fair for us to list lots of different charities, as each charity is just as important as another. Simply walk down your local high street and we are sure you will find a great op shop looking for donations.
