If you have made a purchase in a store or online and need to return it, continue reading to learn more about the Finish Line return policy:

What is Finish Line's Return Policy?

Finish Line wants to ensure you are satisfied with your purchase, and if it is not working for you, the company offers free and easy returns. Returns are accepted for purchases made at a Finish Line store, online at finishline.com, or using the Finish Line mobile app. Returns to Finish Line must meet the following criteria:

• Must have the original receipt or email confirmation
• Be in original, unworn condition
• Have all price tags attached
• Returned in original box and packaging
• Be returned within 45 days of the original purchase

If you do not have the receipt or proof of purchase, items may qualify to be returned for an in-store credit in the amount of the lowest sale price in the past 45 days.

Items ordered online or through the Finish Line app can be returned via mail. However, items returned through the mail can only receive a refund and cannot be exchanged. To exchange items, you must visit a Finish Line store location.

The finish line reserves the right to determine the condition of the items being returned and deny a return if the item has been deemed used, damaged, or missing. Items returned to Finish Line after 45 days will not be accepted for any reason.

Can I Return an Item to the Finish Line without the box or original package?

Items returned to Finish Line must be in their original box, have the original packaging, and have tags attached. Returns missing the original packaging, boxes, and tags will not be accepted.

The only exception to accept worn or used items is if there is a manufacturing problem or defect.

Can I return an item to Finish Line after using it?

All returns to Finish Line must be in a new, unworn condition with all original packaging and tags attached. So, if you buy, let's say, a pair of Nike shoes at Finish Line and you wear them, then you won't be able to exchange or return the shoes as you would when buying them originally from Nike.

Namely, If you are unsure about your purchase, it is best not to wear the items until you decide to keep them or return them to the store.

How Long Do I Have to Return an Item to the Finish Line?

Finish Line accepts returns within 45 days after purchase. All returns must meet specific requirements, including having all original packaging, purchase receipt, and original payment method, and be unworn. After 45 days, Finish Line will not accept returns for any reason.

Does Finish Line Accept Returns and exchanges Without a Receipt?

If Finish Line determines a return meets the criteria despite the lack of a receipt, the item can be exchanged or receive a store credit for the lowest sale price within the past 45 days.

Does Finish Line offer full refunds?

Finish Line does offer full refunds within 45 days of the original purchase, as long as the item is unused and has all the original packaging and tags. Unfortunately, refunds are unavailable for shipping costs unless Finish Line sent the wrong thing for an online order.

How Long Do Finish Line Refunds take?

After returning to a Finish Line store, it can take five days for the refund to process and appear on your bank statement. Likewise, online returns mailed back to the company can take up to five days after Finish Line receives the return at the warehouse.
