Shipping & Returns 

We don’t do things halfway when it comes to packaging and shipping. That’s why we send all orders via DHL. For international deliveries (through the international Joe Nimble online shop), costs vary depending on the destination country. You can find more information about shipping costs here:
You have the option to register and return the unworn/clean articles from your order via our returns portal within 30 days. You will have to cover the return shipping costs yourself.

Important!
  • Please pack the articles you wish to return carefully in the original box.
  • Place the original box inside the shipping box in which the shoes were delivered.
  • Please print the return confirmation and include it in the package, as this will make it easier to assign the package to your order. This will speed up the processing of your return!
  • Take the parcel to your nearest parcel shop. You will pay for the label directly at the package shop.

We will notify you as soon as your return has been received, inspected, and accepted. After that, the purchase price will be credited/refunded accordingly.
You can track the status of your shipment at any time using the tracking link.

To register your return, please use our form at the following link:
Returns portal . It is possible that your return is outside the withdrawal period. The withdrawal period is 30 days from receipt of the articles.

Make sure that your details are entered correctly. Ideally, enter them manually, as copying may sometimes include spaces. You can find this information on the invoice we sent you via email.

As soon as we have received your return, the processing including refund can take up to 7 working days - we will of course do our best to speed things up!

Fit-Guide

In the morning, the foot is up to 4 mm shorter than in the evening, because the muscles tire during the day, the foot becomes slightly longer. On the other hand, it is important that the foot can roll freely. To do this, it needs enough width and enough length. If you bump into it, you compress the foot bones and cartilage. The space is also important for good blood circulation in the foot, for feet that are always warm without pressure points. We recommend a distance of 10mm from your longest toe to the inner front edge of the shoe.
As a rule, we do not need different widths because our shoes do not taper symmetrically towards the front, but follow the natural, asymmetrical shape of the foot.

No, the shoes are not narrower, but women's shoes are narrower at the heel because this is where men's and women's feet differ noticeably.

To determine your correct size for Joe Nimble shoes, you can easily use our size scanner in the store. You can find it directly under the size selection on the product page. 
All you need is a smartphone. You can use it to scan your feet and you will then be shown your correct shoe size
The measurement function may not react correctly if the measurement points are not fixed long enough. Hold still briefly when setting the points so that the scanner can record them correctly (the points do not have to appear green) - this is sometimes a little tricky, especially on the heel.
If it is too difficult to measure yourself, you can also select the “Measure someone else” option and have a second person help you.
As a rule, you will receive very similar recommendations if you take several measurements. However, it can happen that the size shown varies slightly. This can be due to the following reasons:

  • Different foot posture: if the foot was not fully loaded during a measurement or the toes were slightly tucked in, the measurement result may be influenced.
  • Size limit: If your foot measurement is exactly between two sizes, our measurement tolerance of ±1.5 mm can lead to the smaller or larger size being displayed alternately.

> Several measurements help: The more often you measure, the clearer it becomes whether your foot is tending towards the smaller or larger size. 

Our experience shows that around 75% to 95% of customers are satisfied with the recommended size. Nevertheless, the wearing comfort also depends heavily on personal preference: Some prefer a very tight fit with just 5 mm of toe room, others prefer a looser fit with up to 40 mm of room. 

> Our tip: Take your time to measure again or use the shoe size that usually fits you well as a guide. Alternatively, you can also order two sizes to choose from and simply return the pairs that don't fit.
Why do I get different measurement results in the size advisor? It can happen that the information differs slightly. This is usually due to the following reasons:

  • If your foot was not fully loaded during the measurement or you put your toes together, the result may vary.
  • If your foot length is exactly between two sizes, the small measurement deviation of around ±1.5 mm can mean that sometimes the smaller size is displayed and sometimes the larger size.
  • The more measurements you take, the easier it will be to see which size fits you better - whether the slightly smaller or the slightly larger size.
  • The angle of your big toe (hallux angle) also influences the measurement result. The shape of your foot changes slightly depending on how you strain or tense your big toe.

>  To get the most accurate results, you should stand relaxed during the measurement and distribute your weight evenly on your foot.
Yes, there is a size chart.
If the Footprint Scan doesn't work or you just want a quick reference, you can use our size chart for guidance:

Go to Size Chart 

The chart is based on average measurements and offers a non-binding recommendation to help you roughly estimate your Joe Nimble shoe size.

Important Note: The size chart is intended as a general guide and does not replace the accuracy of the Footprint Scan. For the most precise fit, we highly recommend using our Footprint Scan. As a bonus, the scan also provides information about your hallux angle.

How to measure your foot yourself: Place a sheet of paper against a wall and stand on it with your heel touching the wall. Mark the tip of your longest toe and measure the distance from the wall to the mark. You can use this measurement to determine your shoe size from the chart.
It's best to try the shoes on in the afternoon with the socks you want to wear later. Make sure that your toes have enough room and that the shoe is neither too tight nor too loose. Watch these videos to find out how to try on shoes properly and what you should look out for:

The Shoe Design

This varies considerably and depends on several factors. Depending on the sole, it depends on the surface on which the shoe is used. For example, trail soles are not designed for use on asphalt but for softer surfaces, such as those found on trails. When used on asphalt, the lugs will wear down more quickly. Additionally, the soles wear differently at various points depending on individual running style and body weight. The lifespan also depends on how many kilometres you have already run.
Depending on the model, we use different midsoles, each tailored to the specific area of use and performance requirements: 

  1. EVA midsole with rubber outsole (Soles by Michelin®)
    In collaboration with Soles by Michelin®, we have developed an EVA midsole with a 10 mm thickness and a robust rubber outsole, providing a direct, close to the ground running feel with good cushioning and durability.

  2.  nmblaze midsole (eTPU)
    Our nmblaze midsole contains over 20,000 eTPU beads per shoe, delivering particularly reactive cushioning and over 74% higher energy return compared to standard foams. • Road models: With Vibram® XS Trek EVO outsole, slip resistant, abrasion resistant and stable. • Trail models: With Vibram® Megagrip and Traction Lug, for reliable grip and stability on demanding terrain.

  3. Vibram® EVA midsole for speed hiking models
    The lightweight EVA midsole by Vibram® provides balanced cushioning and comfort on long tours. Combined with a Vibram® Megagrip outsole featuring LITEBASE technology, it is grippy, durable and particularly lightweight.
With our current collection, we are placing a stronger focus on the performance segment. Whether trail or road, we leave that up to the runner. However, we offer models that adapt to any surface. All shoe models provide maximum toe freedom (toefreedom®). The respective sole thickness has been optimised according to the surface and area of use: For activities that require maximum sensory feedback, a thinner sole is suitable. For activities where the foot is repeatedly exposed to high impact, such as long distance running or on unstable, uneven surfaces like trail running, a thicker sole provides more cushioning.
Whether a shoe is waterproof or water repellent depends on the respective model. Depending on the model, we offer both water repellent and waterproof shoes, as well as those without any specific water resistance. Whether a shoe has these properties can be found in the respective product description.

  • Shoes without specific water resistance: Even light drizzle can penetrate the material, and in heavy rain, water will generally enter the shoe immediately. These models offer no protection against moisture. 

  • Water repellent shoes (WR designation = Water Repellent): We cannot say exactly when water might penetrate during light drizzle, as there is no fixed benchmark for this. This depends on various factors such as the care of the shoe, the duration of use and the type of wear. Additionally, water can also enter the shoe via the tongue. The protection diminishes through wear and can be refreshed with a waterproofing spray. 

  • Waterproof models: We use a membrane that reliably keeps your feet dry even in heavy rain. This membrane provides optimal protection against moisture while remaining breathable, so your feet stay comfortably dry and ventilated. If it is a waterproof model, such as our hiking shoes, the product description will indicate whether a waterproof membrane is used.

To ensure a smooth and quick process, please use our complaints portal (https://www.joe-nimble.com/int/complaint-and-service/). You have a 24-month guarantee on every item. Should quality defects occur despite proper handling, we undertake to exchange the item or issue a pro rata credit note. Normal wear and tear is excluded from this.

our complaints portal
Normal wear and tear on shoes refers to the deterioration caused by regular use over an extended period. This includes, for example:

  • Flattening of the sole
  • Abrasion on the sole or stud profiles
  • Creases in the upper material
  • Holes in the upper material (caused by the big toe)
  • Wear of the inner lining
  • Wear of the heel lining
  • Wear of the insole
  • Diminished cushioning
  • Torn laces

These signs of wear are unavoidable and considered normal, as they are caused by use and can vary depending on factors such as duration of wear, body weight, biomechanics, and running style. 
Even in cases of self-inflicted damage, one is responsible for the resulting harm, as it arises from one’s own actions (even if not intentional).
  • Always put on your shoes with a shoehorn to protect the heel area.
  • Use a shoe tree to maintain the shape of your shoes and prevent creasing in the upper material. It also helps absorb moisture, keeping your shoes fresher and more comfortable for longer.
  • Allow your running and hiking shoes to dry completely after each use.
  • Clean and care for your shoes regularly by hand with appropriate care products to maintain the elasticity of the upper material (do not use a washing machine).
If you have a complaint for items purchased from a partner store or dealer, you need to submit the complaint directly to that dealer or partner store.

We do not offer a repair or resoling service at Joe Nimble. However, you can have your shoes repaired or possibly resoled by a local cobbler. Many cobblers specialize in such work and can professionally restore your shoes.
A good cobbler can address many typical wear and tear issues and damages to shoes, including:

  • Resoling: Replacing worn-out shoe soles
  • Reattaching the sole: For detached soles
  • Stitch repairs: Restoring or reinforcing open or loose seams
  • Replacement of shoe eyelets: Repairing or renewing eyelets or hooks
  • Softening the upper material: If the upper material is too stiff for your needs, it can be softened.
  • Repairing the upper material: Repairing cracks, holes, or worn areas in the fabric
  • Repairing the heel lining: Renewing the heel lining due to wear.
You can purchase replacement insoles in our online shop under Accessories

Whether a shoe is waterproof or water-repellent depends on the specific model.
We offer both water-repellent and waterproof shoes, as well as models without special water resistance, depending on the model.
You can find out if a shoe has these properties in the respective product description.

  • For shoes without special water resistance, even light drizzle can penetrate the material, and during heavy rain, water typically enters the shoe immediately. These models do not offer protection against moisture. 

  • For water-repellent shoes (WR designation = waterrepellent), we cannot specify exactly when water might enter during light drizzle, as there is no fixed guideline for this. It depends on various factors such as shoe care, usage duration, and type of use. Additionally, water can also enter the shoe over the tongue. The protection diminishes with wear and can be refreshed with a waterproofing spray. 

  • For our waterproof models, we use a Sympatex® membrane that keeps your feet reliably dry even in heavy rain. This membrane provides optimal protection against moisture while remaining breathable, ensuring your feet stay comfortably dry and ventilated.
We do not offer original shoelaces for purchase. You can find additional laces that fit any shoe right here !

Care tips

Shoes with a textile or mesh upper should be cared for with particular care. Please do not wash your Joe Nimble shoes in the washing machine—this can damage the upper material.

Instead, proceed as follows:

  • Remove the footbed and clean the shoes under lukewarm water with a mild soap.
  • Then let the shoes air dry – never on a heater.
  • For stubborn stains (e.g. on light fabrics or white midsoles), we recommend our special cleaning set, the 
    Jason Markk Quick Clean Kit
  • For additional protection against dirt, we recommend the 
    Jason Markk Repel Spray 
  • If your shoes are completely soaked, stuff them with newspaper or similar and change this regularly until the shoes are dry. 
  • For long-lasting freshness inside the shoe, we recommend using the 
    Jason Markk Moso Shoe Inserts as well as the 
    Jason Markk Refresh Spray 

This way, your Joe Nimble shoes will stay looking great, functional and fresh smelling for a long time.
To maximize the lifespan of your Joe Nimble shoes, please follow these care tips:

  • Use a shoe tree to maintain the shape of your shoes and prevent creasing in the upper material. The shoe tree also helps to absorb moisture, keeping your shoes fresh and comfortable for longer.
  • Allow your running and hiking shoes to dry completely after each use, ideally at room temperature and not directly on a heater or in the sun.
  • Clean and care for your shoes regularly by hand using suitable care products such as the Jason Markk Quick Clean Kit. This preserves the elasticity of the upper material and protects it from drying out. Please do not use a washing machine – it can damage the material and structure.
  • For freshness inside the shoe, we recommend the Jason Markk Moso Shoe Inserts as well as the Jason Markk Refresh Spray.

With this care routine, your Joe Nimble shoes will stay functional, comfortable and visually appealing for longer.
Yes, our textile shoes can be treated with a waterproofing spray to protect them from moisture and dirt. We recommend the 
Jason Markk Repel Spray.

For our waterproof models, additional waterproofing is not necessary – they already feature an integrated waterproof membrane that reliably keeps your feet dry.
