• Day 7: Send a “wear habit” survey to understand where and how they’re using the shoes.
• Day 30: Recommend an upgrade or variant of their current style.

3. Reframe Customer Support Language: Solve, Don’t Just Refund

Support reps should act as “comfort consultants.” It’s not about the refund—it’s about getting the right shoe on the right foot.

• “Would you like to try our customizable insoles for added flexibility?”
• “Some users say this style takes 2-3 days to break in. We’ll add bonus points if you give it another shot.”
• “If this pair didn’t work, let’s get you into something with a similar feel but different structure—return-free trial included.”
