Q: What are the differences between Treadders, Padders and Trampers?

A:  TREADDERS brand slippers are the newest generation of soft-sided, leather-soled slippers, and are made under the wholly owned trademark of Treadders.com.  They offer improved fit, more durable materials, and more attractive pricing than their predecessors.  Padders brand and Trampers brand slippers were both made by Padders, Inc. of Tonawanda, N.Y. before that company went out of business.  Though both of these earlier brands were made by the same company and are very similar (in design, patterns, colors, and comfort), there are several subtle differences between the Padders and Trampers lines of slippers.  A picture of each follows, and differences are detailed below:



1. SOLES: This is the primary difference between the three.  TREADDERS and Padders brand slippers have a suede leather sole, while Trampers brand slippers have beaded rubber grips.  Both are durable and provide excellent traction.

2. BRAND TAG: TREADDERS have their brand tag sewn into the heal seam of each slipper.  Padders have their brand tag sewn into the piping on the sides of each slipper, while Trampers have no visible brand tag.

3. MATERIAL: Treadders are made with the highest quality materials available, and are more durable than competing brands.  Padders are made with a slightly heavier fabric than Trampers.  All three hold up very well to wear and tear, though one can expect each brand to hold up better or worse based on the quality of materials with which they are made.
 

Q: Do you have an EXCHANGE POLICY?

A:  Our policy is as follows:

SIZING EXCHANGES: A size chart is available on our website (see graphic link on right side bar that says SIZE CHART) to minimize the likelihood of sizing errors. It details the sizes in which slippers are sold, corresponding foot measurments, and corresponding standard shoe sizes. Please be certain to review this information prior to placing orders. In the unfortunate event that a customer orders a pair of slippers and finds that a different size is needed, the slippers can be returned (postage paid with delivery confirmation recommended - COD packages will not be accepted and Treadders will not be held responsible for packages lost by the US Postal Service) to the following address:

Treadders.com
an RKR Ventures LLC company
1810-A York Road #432
Lutherville, Maryland 21093

Treadders.com offers this exchange at no charge as a courtesy to our customers and reserves the right to withhold this courtesy as it sees fit (for example, if a customer were to abuse the policy).

MATERIAL DEFECT EXCHANGES: In the rare situation in which a customer receives a pair of slippers with evidence of manufacturing defects, those slippers can be exchanged for a new pair in identical style & color at no charge. Be aware, however, that exchanges are subject to availability and substitutions may be required due to inventory in stock.

ALL EXCHANGES: All exchanges must be received in UNUSED, UNWASHED condition with UNDAMAGED packing material within 14 calendar days of customer receipt of order and replacements are subject to inventory in stock. Any USED slippers submitted for exchange will be returned to the sender with Postage Due by customer (COD).

RETURNS/REFUNDS:  Treadders.com does not accept returns other than exchanges as detailed above and does not issue refunds. All sales are final.  Returns sent to our mailing address not otherwise authorized per the  aforementioned policy and not approved via email prior to return mailing will be subject to a minimum $7.50 Unauthorized Return Fee plus a Restocking Fee of $2.50 per item returned.  Postage will not be refunded under any circumstances.
