Nihar

My name is Nihar and I’m from Gujarat, India. I grew up in the city of Vadodara, where the streets smell of spices, the days pass slowly, and life flows peacefully. My childhood was simple: riding my bike with friends, playing in the neighbourhood, and finding happiness in small things. It was a calm life, filled with the love of my parents.
I grew up with a dream: to study abroad and build a successful life. I believed from an early age that outside India I would have more opportunities to grow and secure a better future. That confidence is what made me leave.
My journey to Portugal was smooth, without major difficulties, as I always had faith in myself and in the path I was following. The first days in Portugal were harder than I expected. The language was strange, I felt alone, and apart from my parents, I knew no one. Everything was new. Yet, it was through this challenge that I found growth.
Over time, I put down roots, made friends, and learned to see Portugal as home. Today I have my home, my comfort, and a path I feel is right.
Taking part in the DiVERGE programme was another opportunity to express who I am. I chose a model that reflects the serenity of my personality and the calm of the place where I grew up — light colours, simple lines, a style that conveys peace. These sneakers represent my journey: calm, confident, and guided by faith in the future. I want to continue learning, growing, and achieving my goals. But above all, I want to stay true to the values that brought me here. If I could leave a message to the world, it would be this: Believe in yourself. Trust your path.

Composition:

Can I return a product?

Yes, you can. Although all our products are made to order and customized by you for you, we accept the return or one free exchange. However, you will need contact us by e-mail (support@diverge-sneakers.com), within 15 days after you receive your order. After that period, we reserve the right not to accept the return or exchange.

Please be aware that this right to exchange only occurs if the products:

Free returns are not applicable during promotional periods. Cost will depend on the country where the order was placed and will be deducted to your refund.

Returns are not possible if you choose to order two pairs or more in your order. In those cases, we reserve the right to only offer you one free exchange per pair or, at least, charge you for the return of the sneakers you have ordered and wish to return. As a brand that wants to try to produce only what it sells to have a minimal impact in the environment, we want to disincentivize those who order several pairs to see which one they like the most but always planned to keep only one.

Returns are also not applicable if you choose to order a pair from our Creators Collection. In those cases, we reserve the right to only offer free exchanges.

Returns are also not applicable if you choose to order a pair from our Outlet. In those cases, we reserve the right to only offer paid exchanges.

Returns are also not applicable if you decide to decline to pay any possible VAT/Duties that may occur. In those cases we reserve the right to deduct the shipping amount.

 

How do I return or exchange a product?

To return or exchange your order you should contact us by email at support@diverge-sneakers.com within 15 days of receiving your order, so we can arrange for all the necessary details to exchange your product and package.

After the first contact with our customer support, we will validate your request and, send you a shipping label along with detailed instructions on how to return your shoes for an exchange or refund. This normally takes 1-2 business days. Please do not ship any items directly to our workshop without the proper shipping label provided by us as we will not be able to process your return.

In case of an exchange, after receiving the product and checking its integrity (as mentioned in the previous point), we will proceed to its exchange. DiVERGE allows for one free exchange.

In case of a return, after receiving the product and checking its integrity (as mentioned in the previous point), we will proceed with the refund within 5 business days.

During Black Friday event, exchanges and returns are extended until January 7th 2024.

I received a defective product. What should I do?

We guarantee the satisfaction of our customers. Therefore, if you feel that we have sent you a defective product, please notify us regarding the defect through support@diverge-sneakers.com. Once we receive the defective product, a gift card will be issued so you can order a new product.

CARE: 

Plain Leather: Apply a thin layer of leather balm and once it’s dry, gently brush to keep the finish of the leather always in good conditions. Opt for softer hog bristles to make sure you don’t damage your sneakers. A leather protector spray is also an option to consider.

Suede: Use a brush to gently remove any dirt or dust. Brush in the direction of the fabric’s grain to avoid damaging it. Dry stains can be removed by using a white or brown gum eraser. If it doesn't work we advise you to visit your local cobbler and get additional advice.

Nubuck: Nubuck cloths are the best option to remove dirt and shiny spots. Wipe in several directions using circular motions and make sure you cover the entire nap area.

Rubber Soles: Clean the dirt with a dampened cloth and carefully soak the sole in a mixture of water and dishwashing soap. Make sure you don’t soak the upper part! Use a toothbrush with the mixture to scrub your soles. Once it’s done, dry the sneakers using a cloth.
