Can I combine Brooks and Brooks ReStart purchases?

Why is there an item order limit?

To keep shipping costs low for our Brooks reStart customers, we have to limit the amount of items we can ship in a single package.

How is Sales Tax calculated?

In accordance with state law, we’re required to charge sales tax on orders shipped to states in which Brooks ReStart has operations. Please note that some states and/or cities may charge state and local sales tax on order shipping fees, which is non-refundable.

We can retroactively refund your state sales tax if provided a copy of your valid State-issued Certificate of Tax Exemption. Please contact our Customer Service team for tax exemption requests.

There are three condition levels – Like New, Great and Good. See below for more information on each level. Like New: This product has barely been worn, with no visible signs of wear. Great: Lightly worn. Minimal signs of wear may be visible. Good: Visible signs of wear, but still plenty of miles left to run.

How can I recycle my Brooks ReStart product?

For recycling your Brooks product, please refer to our Recycling Guide available on the Brooks Running support website.

How can I repair and care for my Brooks ReStart product?

To ensure your Brooks products last as long as possible, please see our Cleaning Guide on the Brooks Running blog for care and maintenance advice.

Are products cleaned before being sold?

All Brooks ReStart shoes are professionally cleaned before they leave our distribution centers. Most items are cleaned without water, utilizing CO2 technology by Tersus Solutions. 98% of the liquefied CO2 is reclaimed in the process and they come out clean and with fewer impacts on our natural resources compared to home laundering. In addition to using liquid CO2 rather than water in its process, the closed-loop nature of the Tersus technology allows microfibers to be captured within the system rather than flushing microfibers into our waterways.

How do Brooks ReStart products differ from Brooks products?

Brooks ReStart products are Brooks items that come from our closets. Some shoes have been lightly-used by customers and others were on shelves in our distribution center – they are functionally perfect but may have a cosmetic flaw. Putting these shoes back into use avoids both the landfill and the need to make new products! Most Brooks reStart products are cleaned using CO2 which saves water and energy compared to conventional cleaning methods.

What do I do if I sent the wrong item?

Unfortunately, Brooks ReStart is not liable for Non-Brooks items and regretfully cannot assist in sending these back to you. Please be sure you are using the correct shipping label and check the contents of your package before sending us your Returns.

How do I return my Brooks ReStart items?

Returns are accepted within 30 days of purchase. Start your return through our returns portal, ensuring to include the return authorization email in your return package. Attach the provided shipping label to the outside of your package. Due to COVID-19 precautions, allow 15-20 days for return processing. Your patience is appreciated.

How much does my return label cost?

To keep Brooks ReStart products affordably priced, we charge for shipping both ways. Using our provided label incurs a $5 shipping cost deduction from your return. Alternatively, you can use a carrier of your choice, shipping to the specified returns address.

When will I get my refund?

Refunds are processed as soon as your items are received and reviewed at our warehouse. Refunds can only be issued to the original method of payment. It may take your bank up to 7 business days to credit the refund to your account.

Can I combine returns from multiple orders?

Yes, you can combine multiple returns as long as you initiate each one in the returns portal, and include all return confirmation printouts in the package. You will need to purchase postage directly from the carrier of your choice, rather than using the shipping label attached to the return confirmation emails. This will ensure you are refunded for items from each order!

How do I make an Exchange?

Exchanges are made in two steps: returning and re-ordering. Please initiate your return in our returns portal and then order the replacement item through our website. You will be charged for the new item at the time of the order, and refunded for the returned item once your return is received and processed. Please note that shipping will be charged for new orders and returns. You are welcome to wait until your return has been processed and refunded before making the replacement purchase if that is more convenient. Keep in mind, inventory moves quickly, especially during holidays and sale times, so we encourage you to re-order sooner rather than later to avoid missing out

Explore career opportunities with Brooks by visiting our Careers page on the Brooks Running website.

Reusing footwear is a great option for your budget and for the environment! The production of any product requires using limited natural resources. Buying used goods means one less new item that had to be made, reducing the impact on our planet. According to WRAP, keeping our clothing in use for just nine extra months reduces the related water, waste, and carbon footprints by 20% to 30% each.

Where can I find other Brooks sustainability pages and articles?

We are committed to a long-term, science-based approach to sustainability. We know it’s time to think bigger about the impact our products and their full life cycle have on the planet. For more information on our goals for climate action and sustainable consumption, please visit the 'Our Planet', 'Climate Action', and 'Sustainable Consumption' sections on our website.

What about the environmental impact of shipping goods?

Although there are environmental impacts of shipping items, shipping is not the major contributor to a product's carbon footprint or lifecycle impacts. The environmental savings of keeping a product in use (compared to manufacturing a new one) outweighs the impact of shipping it.
